Thanks all for the analysis. It helps me clarify a lot since this is just my first transaction.
And the seller sent me the bitcoin again and it got confirmed within 5 minutes. He said it was the fault of Bitcoin network, something wrong happened in the last few days.

It looks like your seller double spent the inputs for this unconfirmed transaction... If he used a higher fee in the double spend transaction, chances are slim this transaction will ever be confirmed...

Also, the input for this transaction seems to be unconfirmed....

Loads of red flags for this one... I didn't dig to deep, but it looks rather suspicious to me (altough, it might still be OK, in case the seller just did a RBF), it's just a big web of double spending unconfirmed transactions, using unconfirmed outputs as inputs, higher fees, lower fees,...
Thanks, now the seller says that he will resend the btc if the transaction disappears from blockchain. Will it happen in a few days?
I can't understand why the transaction is not picked up when the transaction fee is higher than standard.

A Bitcoin transaction is done for real only after it starts getting confirmations.
Until that point there are ways to "undo" the transaction (although it's not really undo, since the transaction is not done - not confirmed).
In this case your "seller" (scammer?) did a double spend. This means that although he sent you some money with high fee, he sent THE SAME money somewhere else with even higher fee. The transaction "to somewhere else" was confirmed and became the real one. Yours.. not.

Since the source wallet is now empty, I think that you won't get any money...

I contacted the seller and he said I need to keep waiting for a few days, the bitcoin will arrive eventually. What happens if I keep waiting? Will the bitcoin be released when he loads more bitcoin to his wallet?

It seems that you won't get your btc in this case Smiley
Remember: never consider that you received a bitcoin payment until you don't have minimum 1 confirmation in bitcoin network.

I tried but it says the transaction doesn't exist.

Hi,
I bought bitcoin from someone and they sent me with a pretty high fee (230.973 sat/B)
But the transaction is still unconfirmed after more than 14 hours. What should I do now?
