Thank you everyone for your comments. It's been a great discussion to wake up to.
It does highlight the futility of either party to a case settled by eBay being able to leave feedback. Neither party should be able to have the last word when eBay has settled it.
DH had already left positive feedback after paying. I agree that building feedback in advance is perhaps risky, but we have found that if we don't leave it in advance, we get way less. As I'm in the TRS program, but DH isn't, I want all the feedback I can get.
So we do make use of both options,
There are only 80 characters to play with in each, so BBs comments are good, but will blow the character count.
So far, he hasn't written anything. No matter what he does, she is going to fire back - which only makes it more interesting to read and more important that there is a record that shows the facts.
On the follow up to the nice feedback he left earlier, I wanted to say
"Wish List: new glasses; intensive reading course & an anger management book?"
DH and my kids said I was being funny, but vindictive. But it cannot be construed as a false positive. So any more suggestions here would be welcome.
In reply to the negative, we have been talking along the lines of
"I'm shocked! This bag needs repairs!" ("repair" in both title & description). Which makes it clear that it's a failure of the buyer to read the description. What do you think of this one?
The other option, is that a short summary on the about me page and directing readers to that via the feedback for the full story. What's the likelihood that this would earn some kind of policy violation? Anyone tried this? Does this seem extra mean?

So we do make use of both options,
- reply to feedback received which shows up on our feedback page and
- followup to feedback left which will automatically show up on her feedback page
