After I have filed a Non-Paying Bidder alert and claimed FVF Refund can i then leave negative feedback without them being able to do the same.

Any help appreciated

    Thanks for that razor.

    Whats the worst negative I could leave for a non-paying bidder.

    I'd just keep it simple and to the point:

    (-)Non-paying bidder. Avoid.

    That way if he/she bids on future auctions the seller can check his/her feedback and see factual feedback.

    There's no point in going OTT about it.

    If the NPB responds to the dispute, I've been told they can neg back.
    So be careful of spiteful buyers who will respond (even if to say they're not paying) as this means that are able to leave feedback.
    This new system is still flawed.

    me4bargains is correct. If the bidder has responded to the nPB dispute they can still leave feedback.

    As for good feedback, keep it factual and polite as that speaks volumes about a seller. Something like 'No contact and no payment, beware' is good enough for me to worry if I saw that on a bidders feedback.
