I've bought numerous items off ebay and not had too many problems. The one I did have was with a seller charging tax on s&h......in my State they are not supposed to. Also, instead of allowing me to pay directly from paypal, it had to go thru "DealTree" - nothing in the auction mentioned another checkout source. Insurance was added too when I didn't want it.
With no satisfactory response from the seller I intended to leave bad feedback. As I was about to, the warning comes up and says something about feedback going both ways.....made me stop and think. So, I ended up leaving positive feedback but mentioned in the comments about the weird checkout and slow response.
As a buyer I always check the seller feedback. Even with a negative, if the seller's response seems reasonable, and their overall rating is good, I don't hesitate to buy from them. I know some buyers can just be difficult, swindlers and frauds.
Good luck and I hope you get either your money or camera (intact) returned. Either way don't worry about the one negative feedback, you're given the chance to respond.
