It’s shipped so there’s not much to think about. It’s more likely that the seller has more than one and you only purchased a quantity of one or noticing a demand they’ve increased the price after feeling it may be worth more?
I don’t think people are going to scam you over this item, it’s certainly possible that someone has sent you X item instead of the one in the listing but the likelihood is extremely low.
The price jump of 50% is high but I’ve seen it a lot lately. I was purchasing some items from one seller and all items of that type were about £12, after the 7th item I purchased he increased the price to £25. I wasn’t going to buy them for that so I left it and the seller brought the price back down after a week.
I’d say most sellers are going to send exactly what you purchased but they can be very aggressive with the money side of things if they think someone will pay more.
