It would help if you used Australian dates, given you claim to be in Australia.

Especially in COVID times, when the seller, if you're mug enough to buy from overseas, has probably done nothing wrong.
The majority of buyers seem to buy for goods. My last 4 sales have been to buyers who have received feedback, but never left any. Says something about the average buyer. Or else something about the 2? serial posters who want feedback timeframes extended to 90 days. Who would then want it externded to 120 days... if eBay reverted. Which is unlikely.
I think the majority of people buy for goods and feedback is just a side event.
It's a funny thing though, feedback.
Some people just aren't interested in it, they wouldn't bother giving it even if something arrived by special delivery in 30 minutes flat.
Others only seem to bother if they have a gripe.
But there is a genuine third group, I don't know, maybe we're the OCD group 
, but the transaction doesn't seem quite completed till we give and receive feedback. It's not the end of the world if we don't get it but we like to leave it, especially for a good seller who has gone out of their way to help us.
I don't know that extending feedback time to 90 days would make all that much difference. Those who don't give it at all would still not give it but for the occasional item held up in international post, it might help. I wouldn't think all of it would be revenge feedback, or I hope not.
I don't buy international often but I know when I bought my sourdough starter, I was hoping it would arrive in time so I could give a positive to the seller. I probably would have jumped in even if it hadn't arrived but as it was, it did arrive right near the end.
The only reason I see feedback as any use is sometimes it can be good to look for trends with a seller and if there seem to be any recurring issues. Likewise, if all seems overall pretty good, it gives you that bit of confidence to buy from them.
