Now that both the eBay and Paypal claim period have been increased from 45 to 180 days, surely eBay also need to increase the time period in which feedback can be left from it's current 60 days to 180 days. I've not yet seen or heard anything that would suggest that this will be the case, but regardless, for very obvious reasons I will certainly no longer be leaving positive feedback for buyers once they've paid, as I do currently, and will now be waiting until the last possible moment before leaving it.
Of course, that's on the assumption that I'll still be selling after the end of this month, because the way things appear to be going, it's almost a certainty that I'll be pulling all my listings at the end of this month and giving eBay the middle finger that they so richly deserve for the appalling manner in which they've elected to treat their loyal sellers. I think they forget that loyalty is a two-way street.

utopialive87 are the scam artists that stuff around with customers asking stupid questions, like "what is your paypal account number", " don't worry, you will get refund soon" etc and keep saying they will refund until the feedback time expired.
Forget feedback for a moment.
If you have 3 items you ordered that did not arrive or were faulty, immediately open an ebay claim on each of them (or paypal claim if ebay time has elapsed).
If a seller starts to give you the run around, you don't have to take it, you don't have to continue any discussion with them if it is leading nowhere. The solution is in your hands. Open an ebay claim and follow through. No matter what the seller says, don't cancel the claim.
You will then get your money back. You can do the feedback then.
The trickis to open a claim soon after an item fails to arrive by the due date. Don't let it go for months. If you open it after an item is a week or two late, you should be able to leave feedback too.
But your main concern is to get your money back, not to give feedback.
