BUYER NEVER PAID FOR ITEM THEN WHEN DISPUTE WAS INSTIGATED HE PAID BUT LEFT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

See "What to do about Negative Feedback" on here:

If you use eBay's automatic Unpaid Item Assistant the buyer is blocked from leaving f/b as soon as the case is opened.

It seems the buyer paid, which was why he was able to leave feedback.
