Your code is incomplete as you're nowhere showing how disableBeanValidation is implemented and how you're passing the #{param[skipBeanValidation]} around.

But it should basically boil down to:

<f:validateBean disabled="#{param.skipBeanValidation}" />

...

<h:commandLink value="Edit" action="#{buyerBacking.edit}"/>
    <f:param name="skipBeanValidation" value="true" />
</h:commandLink>

Please note that #{param.skipBeanValidation} is quite different from #{param[skipBeanValidation]} (but the same as #{param['skipBeanValidation']}). Also please note that the desired request parameter to skip the bean validation is been passed as a HTTP request parameter, exactly as is been expected by #{param}.
