I have quite a few that I use so that if a buyer checks they don't see the same for another one of my buyers. I do have one for international sales. "Great international Sale! Fast response, Quick payment. Highly Recommended-Thanks" You can tell I have had no problems with Canadian or International Sales, well at least not yet. For the Canadian one I just substitute Canadian for International.

I too vary mine. I don't use cut and paste because it's quicker to type in the feedback! Fine buyer! Good communication, fast payment. A+++ OR
Fine new Ebayer! Smooth transaction, a keeper!
Or if they were poor at communicating but paid in time:
Enjoy your widget. Timely payment. Thanks!
If it's a Half.com transaction (and please God let this fade away soon!. . . . )
Enjoy your book (__name of book__). Thanks for your purchase!

I used the typical lines for awhile, now use single words now like Excellent, good, fair, positive, negative, slow, poor.

Jack: You are so right!! When I was teaching customer service at a hospital, one of the things we told the employees was NEVER to use that phrase "No problem" when doing something for a patient or visitor. It's a negative.
Example:
May I have change for a $5 bill?
--Here you are
Thank you!
--No problem.
It's a semantic thing. It implies that you're doing a favor and that normally it IS a problem. It's a little bit snide. It's a lazy and stupid way to say Thank You--and actually has one extra syllable for the idiot behind the cash register to pronounce.
WHEN did No Problem become synonymous with Thank You?

Roadsmith, at the flea market today this woman kept saying to me, "I'll take five for that", or "I'll take two for that".
on and on. I was just walking around the table. But that definitely hit me as a negative.
Felt like saying, "You'll take five, but I'm not giving you a dime!*" She had mostly overpriced bunch of junk. It was so blunt, like, "I'll take five-("give it to me."
At least on ebay you can browse and nobody is hobbling over ya pushing it on ya.

Neroter: Too bad about that woman seller. It sure was a very odd way to get a buyer's attention!
