How do you write your feedback?

[digitalpress]

I must have written hundreds of different feedbacks over the years but have lately developed "writer's block" when it comes to these things, which results in either a simple "Excellent seller, thanks" or in the worst-case scenario, no feedbacks given at all due to extreme apathy.

Do you write a custom feedback for all of your auctions or do you cut-and-paste the same lines over and over? Is there a random positive feedback generator out there to help others like me who have simply run out of things to say to eBay people?

Help!

here are my past ones(i gave up on making sense awhile ago):


Praise: Very Fast payment! Paypal is like ham, I like ham!
Praise: Great Speakers, goes great with martini or milk!
Praise: Great Item, great communication and friendly as corn!

I'm just a cut and paste kind of guy. I try and put as many good things that will help the seller.

I usually use some variation of the two below.

Everything is great. Items came fast. Would definitely buy from again. A+++++

or

The game is great. Good Emails. Fast shipping. Would buy from again. A++++++++++

And for some reason I feel like I have to fill up the whole space as you can see by all the +'s.

I use two comments - nearly identical:

Fast payment from great eBayer! My highest recommendation! AA+++!

AND

Fast shipment from great eBayer! My highest recommendation! AA+++!

But I do *not* cut and paste. I type each one by hand, as I figure that way there'll be *some* personal touch.

Now NEGATIVES - those get a custom-made comment. :evil:

You guys care too much, I just leave one syllable words.

I all goes well, I ususally go with the standard:
"Item arrived promptly and exactly as described, great seller!! -thanks"

Custom feedback, but they all come out about the same. I try to answer at least the following questions for the sake of others:

For sellers - did it come in a reasonable timeframe? did it come well-packed? was it as described? was the seller communicative and easy to work with?

For bidders - did payment come in time? if mailed, how long after close was it mailed?

Why not auto-message or one-word replies? Well ... because I actually look at other peoples' feedback and it helps to know something more than "A+++++" or "thanks."

I mostly sell on eBay. I just have a cut an paste comment for my auctions.

Quick payment, great transaction, first class buyer.

If things are really slow but I get paid I might just skip the feedback all together. If I have to leave negative feedback I just describe the problem. I got personal once and called some guy a twit. If I did that now I might get sued.
