There should have been nothing to read. It is against ebay policy to leave positive feedback with nagative comments so why would I have more faith in sellers who think it is alright to breach the rules when it suits them than in a buyer who doesn't pay? Perhaps those sellers breached other rules and the buyer had good reason not to pay!

FYI OP it is not against ebay policy to leave feedback for a non-payer - you may receive a policy violation if the comment is sufficiently negative enough to warrant removal if the sales contract-breaking, ebay payment policy breaching non-payer contacts ebay to request removal.

Please be clear I am not encouraging you to leave any feedback for a non-payer at all, let alone a negative comment that may jeopordise your ebay account  - just correcting a number of errors in relation to the actual policy that is in place as I see it.
