soooo boring... 95% of them are the same...
fast, speedy, shipped quickly, A+, A++ ,A+++, great seller, fast payment, would buy from again, etc.

Never anything new...
And, some people get so bent out of shape over their feedbacks...

So, what would happen if I left the following feedback:
"1000th customer award - sexual favors?! Great seller!!"

"OMFG, THIS DUDE IS AWESOME! THANKS FOR THE EXTRA $1000 CASH IN THE BOX!!!!"

I just get so sick of everyone wanting buyers to praise them up and down...
or sellers always wanting all that feedback...

An auction was won, buyer paid by paypal within 1 day, seller shipped next day...

If that happened and the feedback was "transaction exactly as expected", either side would get irritated that it didn't say "A+++ Seller, superfast shipping" or "A+++ buyer, superfast payment", either side would feel slighted.

The only feedback that really matters is the negative feedback. If I'm buying or selling, all I do is scan for any negative comments, instead of reading all those positive feedbacks - the positive feedbacks mean almost nothing. What's the difference between an A+ and an A+++ seller??

So, I'll label it positive feedback, and start putting in things that are more interesting to read... any of you ebayers going to complain about them? :)

Bingo! As long as it's marked positive feedback so people can compare the positive/negative %'s. :D
Loved it!

My feedbacks could be blank for all I care as long as they are positive. Many people, however, like to comment on my packing skrillz.

I'm close to 400 positives and zero negatives! :):beer:

Uh what's the big deal? You want them to spice up the feedback in some way? It's not meant for that.

Umm... I'm 21, and our whole engineering dept at work plays during lunch in the conference room. Got any cards to sell me?
I wish I worked there, I'd give you a wedgie and steal your lunch.

first, hardly anyone looks at what is written in the positive feedback as long as it is positive. What else are you going to say? It's not like you know the other person ... you bought/sold some widget from him/her.
I want to know, did the seller respond/communicate quickly, send the product in a timely manner and did the item arrive packaged securely. That's all, I don't care if he is the pope, I just want my widget on time and delivered in good condition.
Before Ebay restricted feedback to only people you have transactions with, anyone can leave feedback for anyone else.
Do you want to have some bizarre feedback like this?
