An extra note - remember if a buyer has 100% feedback it is totally & utterly meaningless - keeping in mind that a seller can't give them negative feedback even if they are a serial scammer, (returning clothes obviously worn etc), take ages to pay, don't pick up a purchase as arranged, or of course the old -" I bid & won it - now I won't pay or respond to messages". The last one really gets me - you have lost a sale opportunity window (possibly Xmas, Valentines / Mothers Day etc) and then have to re-list. Buyer feedback shouldn't exist on the current terms & system! But unfortunately it;s an unfair, meaningless & misleading part of Ebay. In disputes, Ebay will nearly always come down on the side of the buyer - even if the buyer lies & says the item arrived with a stain on it (really? it got a coffee mark in the post? on an unmarked item). Depending on what you are selling, use other selling sites as well - I use 2 others - but keep in mind no selling sites reaches as many buyers as E-bay. Never wrap an item ready to go, incase a winning bid doesn't pay. This happens too often. Good luck!

The thing is ...
When an Unpaid Item Dispute closes without payment, neither party can leave feedback (any feedback left before closing the dispute is automatically removed).
So ...
All of the seller's that have left "non payer" feedback did not open UPI cases. The buyer did not get a strike on their account.

Didn't finish my thought ... The community disconnected me 😞
Recap ...
Successful Unpaid Item Disputes disallow feedback from both buyers and sellers.
Sellers that leave "non-payer" feedback have not opened Unpaid Item Disputes.
When a seller does not open unpaid item disputes, buyers do not get strikes.
If buyers don't get strikes, the Buyer Requirements setting is meaningless ... And eBay does not get notified about the buyer's "bad behaviour".
Ergo, sellers that leave "non payer" feedback are actually contributing to the problem.

Sellers can limit those buyers by opening and closing Unpaid item disputes to give the buyer a strike and get their fees back. Then the buyer won't be able to buy from most sellers who block those with two or more unpaid item strikes.
Beyond that, I believe the number of no pays before Ebay limits their buying privileges would be more than the number you mention. I think they give more leeway than 6 or so transactions.

Yes, all buyers look the same~whether they are a prolific scammer or a very responsible buyer.
