Bitcoin transaction still unconfirmed after 1 day

So I used my phone app to make an eCommerce bitcoin payment. It's been over 1 day and it still doesn't have a single confirmation.

I don't have a lot of experience with bitcoin, but this seems like a really long time. How common is long wait times like this?

After 2 days of the transaction being stuck, I found the RBF feature on my app (android wallet from bitcoin.org). It didn't give me the option to choose the fee, it was pre-selected, and I ended up paying an additional 40% transaction fee on top of the original. And I though paypal had high fees.

I guess if you're selling drugs or something else that can get you arrested, it's worth paying those fees for crypto, but why are you guys using it for internet marketing related stuff?
