I purchased bitcoins from someone from LocalBitcoins for cash. Seller took cash $2000 and sent me bitcoins from his Blockchain wallet.

Now its 5 days but the transaction is still unconfirmed. Seller has vanished and his mobile number unreachable.

Two questions:

1- can he somehow cancel this transaction or take back those coins he sent me?
2- is it normal to 5 or more days delay in transaction confirmation on 120sat/byte fees?

My transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/371d2e702c53b40f00e760dcfc387fb83a4d583d0d332812f8f03d29705673c1

Need help, please reply. Thanks in advance!

The payer can double spend the bitcoins until the transaction has been securely mined (e.g. in six blocks). You might want to try accelerating the transaction.
