Given that a court of law (I'm in NSW) can't enforce payment, there is not a chance in dixie that ebay is going to enforce a payment. Think of it like a warranty advertised on ebay. Yes, it's there in print, but that's all it is. I strongly doubt anyone would spend a few grand in legal fees to prove a point over a $10 item.
Exactly. My daughter found the same thing years ago, when she wanted a side fence built on their new property. Council said legally the neighbours were supposed to share costs but in practical terms, if the neighbours refused, it was cheaper to pay the whole lot yourself rather than try to take it to court.
I'd imagine that applies very much to small ebay purchases too. Sometimes you just have to be practical.

No, you can't leave neg feedback for buyers. Haven't been able to for years. Buyers can leave neg or neutral for sellers though. Just the way it is.
It's stupidity on your part to leave a neg comment with a green dot. For starters, any buyer who takes offence can just contact ebay, get it removed and you're the one whose account will get into trouble.
Secondly, you're just upping that buyer's 'good' score, Making them look better. Probably very few will ever read the comments but people will notice their total score & you're just making them look reliable.
What worries me is you seem to think feedback is the thing to do. If someone buys but fails to pay, feedback shouldn't be your choice for getting even. Go into ebay and make a claim against the person for an unpaid item, get your fees back. The buyer will geta strike.
You won't see it, I won't see it, but it'll be there and if they get another one any time soon, they will be blocked from buying off a lot of other sellers.
Have you got blocks in place? If you have a bad experience with a buyer, you need to block them from ever buying from you again plus make a claim on ebay if applicable.
That's how you get revenge, not with feedback.
