How many days do you have to leave feedback on an item? I need to leave negative feedback on an item (he hasn't paid, and sends back emails to me and ebay that say things like "#%@"). But, I'm afraid of retaliation and want to leave it at the last possible minute.

almost positive it's 90-days...cause I think that's how long the auction stays "open" (i.e. if you go look at all your feedback, you'll see some still have links to the items, and some just have the number)...
it's probably listed in the Feedback Forum somewhere...
if you do it right at 90 days, you can leave feedback, but avoid the negative feed back he may leave you in return. Just make sure you do it right at the end of the 90 days so he has no time to retaliate.
Since you are out nothing but time and agravation, and a littel bit o funds for the posting/selling(not sure what item is or cost) I would just repost it and move on.
I had a bad feedback moment not long ago. A fella ruined my perfect feedback after I left him pos feedback. Long story but he pestard the crap out of me for 4 days before the end of the auction. I privately sent him extra pics and part # of the part that he asked for. Then he says the part was junk and left bad feedback without contacting me. So I respond to the feedback that he had not followed proper Ebay policy for dispute. Which I had not misrepresented anything and would have refunded his money less shipping if he would have sent it back. Then he gets the last response calling me a liar. Really pissed me off. Then he stopped responding to my Emails and kept the part, guess it was not junk after all. I have given thought of buy from him with a bogus name to rip him back, but I'm patient. What goes around, comes around sooner or later. If I'm ever in his part of the county I'd like to knock on his front door and shake his hand...
How funny. I had one I missed leaving feedback on a video that came in as a bootleg...and the buyer wouldn't take it back...said I must have copied it and now wanted to return the bootleg...I went to leave feedback just now and ebay wouldn't take it...Said the seller was "no longer a registered user"...Hope he got kicked off.

I'm hoping by leaving negative feed back that others will not be put in the same situation. He's now had 3 other negative pop up since he first bid on my auction. 2 for non payment and one for not shipping. If I had seen that, I could have ignored his bid, and let someone else win. I'd have my $300.00 and one less thing in my garage. Instead now I have to relist and hope I get the same money...
Can you contact the 2nd highest bidder and sell to him. Maybe even go thru ebay and try to make it official? I seem to remember some sort of '2nd chance sale' or 'sell a similar/identical item' option that would go out to the losing bidders of your choice, at their bid, cheaper than relisting.
Wait until the last minute possible. I left neutral feedback on the first item I bought off ebay and the seller left me negative in respose. All my neutral said was that shipping tookmlonger then expected. It took nearly 6 weeks for him to ship apart he said he had in stock from California to North Carolina. I work in shipping so I know that is at the most a 7 day delivery for UPS ground which is how he said he shippped it. He refused ot give me the tracking information and when he finally did send it to me it showed the part shipping out several weeks after he said it would ship. He responded that he paid extra shipping to get it to me and lost money on the sale. After my ordeal they got 4 more negatives for the saemthing.

Sometimes it's better to just walk away...
