The disappearing seller is typical for what can be fraudulent sales; of lost or stolen devices.


Your options are to contact FB, and local police.


I’d not expect a refund.


Apple is not going to get involved here, and will not unlock the device.


Reports of apparently-fraudulent sales from sellers using online websites have been posted around here.
