Failed bitcoin transaction

Posted about this in one of the crypto subs, but in short:

Was selling some video game items, buyer sent me $1,400 in Bitcoin, wanted me to give him the items before the Bitcoin confirmed, and blocked me once I said I wanted to wait for a confirmation. Then the Bitcoin disappeared from my wallet, didnt even show in the transaction history either.

From other people explaining in the other sub it seems to be a RBF or double spend tactic. Just posting to see if anyone can confirm what it is and why it completely vanished from my Exodus history. Also, is this a Bitcoin only thing? Because a year or two ago I remember a similar thing where I was sent USDT that also failed, but during that incident I did actually get scammed.

Question on Bitcoin related transaction

Was doing a sale online with someone for a video game related thing, ended up recieving $1,397 in Bitcoin. It was in my Exodus wallet saying “Recieving…”, so I told the guy I’d wait for the transaction to confirm before giving him what he paid for.

He started pressuring me to send the stuff anyway, saying that crypto transactions are permanent, that hes in a rush, etc. I still insisted on waiting so he eventually ended up blocking me.

Then the Bitcoin immediately disappeared from my wallet. Nothing even showed up in my transaction history. The only proof i have of ever recieving it is an Exodus notification and I screenshot I took. I have the txid and it says “invalid” but Im just confused as to how this works, since theres no way to cancel an Exodus transaction or anything like that as far as I know.
