I can't stand all the extremes of praise that go into eBay feedback either. I've taken to writing "Item as described and arrived in good time. Good comms." and just copy/paste it for all items awaiting feedback. Sometimes I'll comment on the packaging: "Well packed."Yes it's robotic but all that A+++ stuff makes me want to kill people.
Basically what I just did for over half a dozen items. Well, I switched back and forth between "Item as described" and "Fast delivery" (cos they were all sooner than suggested) as the first bit and last bit. Ooh the variety! I noticed in my feedback that some folk try to make it a bit arty with punctuation art. Very pretty too. But it still has to have one of the stock eBay phrases stuck in the middle somewhere. Naturally. I should read my feedback more often - makes me sound like a fine fella

In irritation news, there's always something isn't there. Bloody memory card is on the blink so had to order a new one. It's always been a bit iffy for some reason. Only recognises it's inserted about half the time and about half of the time it does recognise it it won't save and just gives error messages. Have ordered a smaller-size one cos my lil brother suggested that the larger storage size ones don't tend to be as reliable as smaller ones and is a proper pisser to lose fuckloads of game data so probably better to have smaller, more reliable ones. But that aside, purchases all work fine so got plenty to keep me occupied - memory stick allowing.
peeople have said "good comms" about me several times on ebay, when i havent sent a single word of communication to them.
At least its all +ve though i spose.
I think, as Knock suggests, plenty peeps just cut and paste the same ol' shite for everybody unless there is summat gone wrong which probably doesn't happen all that often given how precious eBay folk are about their feedback. From even the small amount of feedback I have (don't use eBay all that much) it looks like I've been highly communicative and proactive in some kinda way as opposed to just paying for stuff when I order it (who doesn't? they seem to rate this very highly all the same). Spoke to one fella a couple times cos I fucked up the payment and paid twice, got a flurry of stupidly OTT positive comments from him after that. Not that I'm complaining but it is all a bit plastic and silly. But, as you say, better OTT faux positivity than loads of negative stuff nitpicking and the like.
