Not if you didn't buy from Microsoft like you said. Microsoft has nothing to do with this.

Probably because other people complained to eBay about not receiving anything in time either.

Never assume anything is safe because it is eBay. eBay doesn't guarantee any form of reliability, it is still a sale directly between you and some random stranger. Always check for recent feedback of the seller, pay extra attention to any negative feedback... someone with 98% positive feedback can still be scamming you... especially if a scammer is using a hacked eBay account (worst case scenario).
I'd do what Nathan suggested and wait some extra time, the seller might just be without internet unexpectedly. If you are indeed being scammed you must wait anyway, to give the seller a reasonable time to respond before you can cancel any transaction.
