Dealing with a non-paying buyer (with unpaid item case already opened previously) leaving negative feedback

[big_sandwich]

I was selling something and the buyer didn't pay, so I opened an unpaid item case. Someone from eBay messaged me to say that I can request payment from the buyer again, but I never got it.

About a month later, the buyer leaves me a negative feedback with only the comment "no". I reported it, but it seems like I am unable to leave the buyer any feedback either and there is no progress.

Is there anything I can do? I do not want to have my feedback garnished by someone who wasted a month of my time without sending me payment (and I had to pay the Final Value fees as well).

Hi.. Listing ended on Nov .2 , buyer left the negative on Dec. 2. What happen to your unpaid dispute. All that was necessary was to close the dispute on day 5 and eBay would have credited fees and buyer could not have left feedback or if did so, ebay would remove.

Sellers can only leave positive feedback and i'm sure you have no desire to do that.

Have you blocked the bidder from buying further..
