That has always been my understanding as well. Also consider that eBay would never boot someone off based on their interaction with a single seller. If your unpaid item strikes got them booted off, you were the last in a string of bad dealings they had.
I wouldn't worry too much about retaliation either. 9 times out of 10 these after-the-fact rants are just that, with no bite to back them up. In the off chance that they do have friends willing to sacrifice their accounts to the cause of vengeance, just use the "Report This Buyer" link on your feedback page and explain the situation in the comment for each item their "friends" bought/won. In addition to the Unpaid Item strikes, any feedback they managed to leave will be removed.
Ebay has FINALLY introduced some features to protect sellers (albeit retroactivally) from abusive buyers like this, so be sure to use them. Good luck!
