Happened to me twice recently. Seems to be a new kind of scam.

You will eventually get your money back, but still, Amazon get your money for months on end, and you have no product.

If you complain to amazon and they don't refund your money in a reasonable amount of time (2 weeks?), then just get in touch with your credit card company and do a chargeback. To do this, it's best if you keep a record of your interactions with amazon to support your chargeback request

Does this not get you banned?

As soon as I complained, they refunded me.
