why would a buyer ask me to leave feedback if all their feedback is marked private?

Maybe they are a movie star or someone famously infamous?

Yes. I leave it for every buyer as soon as I print shipping.

around 150 since 2013. so not a heavy hitter HOWEVER they have had several Ebay user names which is kind of concerns me. Multiple names, private feedback, no items to sell .... the new ebay name bothers me too. This just does not feel good.

Is all this angst just about whether to leave them their positive or not?  Did you already ship, has it arrived, or is something else a problem?  How does not leaving feedback change anything?

Private feedback has always been around.

guess one of the issues I had about considering cancelling the sale was the person is using a business name ... and has changed the name of the business 3 times since they opened the ebay account in 2013. almost like they got such a bad rep they had to continually change their name. very low buys from buyer at this point according to matrix

So this is more about wanting to cancel and not ship.  If they haven't asked to cancel, what reason would you have?  None of those things you mention are valid reasons to cancel without taking a defect, and are mostly speculation.

no item was shipped, received, buyer left me feedback and sent message to leave them positive feedback

Concerning sellers that change their name is not alarming, i have been a member of ebay since 2008 and in 6 months i changed mine 3 times as i finally have the perfect name for me bestvaluesa2z  I always leave a positive feedback buying or selling it is the ebay way, and those who don't leave feedbacks i consider a disrespect to everyone who buys or sells here on ebay.

Then just leave them feedback and call it a day.  I'm sorry, I don't understand your concern.  Buyers can ask for feedback if they want to, sellers can ask for feedback if they want to (not advised) but nothing there is a policy violation. 

Your transaction sounds finished to me, so I see no reason to withhold your feedback if you in the habit of leaving it for your buyers.

Since the buyer's feedback is private, just give a green donut with a + as the comment.  Since no one is going to see it, it hardly matters what it says as long as it is not a negative comment.
