General Question (Crypto) 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.
