Does anybody know is there is any service or auction tool that will automatically leave follow-up comments to past feedbacks?

Like if you want to leave 500 follow-up comments at the same time, instead of manually one at a time.

Can't say that I have ever heard of any.

This may be a dumb question but why would you need to leave 500 follow up feedback's?

Oh no, not the evil twin.

I did a little searching online and didn't find anything that does follow up feedback. Lot's for doing normal feedback but no follow up.

There's a thread a few months back about this and tools. However there is a growing trend of non-paying buyers to leave feedback for the item, in the hope that seller will give the same feedback automatically. So be aware to only leave feedback for delivered items after you get positive feedback from the buyer. You'd need to filter out non-paying bidders for the usual 'treatment'.

I had that happen one time. Buyer did not pay and I had my Vendio preferences set to automatically reply to positive feedbacks. That's the last time that happened. I now have it set to send reply feedback 24 hours after receiving it. That gives me a day to catch it and turn off the automatic feedback for that customer. Since that time I have had 2 people try that game and ended up with a non payment negative for feedback in reply to their positive. Haa, take that NPB dirtbag's.

agitprop, I'm not talking about following up to a buyer's feedback. There are plenty of tools for that.

You can followup on your *own* feedback. Some sellers use this as a tool to promote their stores or domain name, in order to get return business.

Sorry about the mix up. Okay, no tools are available for followup comments as far as I know.

I've found it better to spice the original feedback with comments on how much the buyer saved or other generic comments that eBay doesn't delete. If you spam your feedback comments with website addresses they'll probably get deleted and you'll get a warning or worse (depends on your sales).

I see nothing wrong with leaving followup comments stating "thanks for the great transaction" or something similar to attract repeat business.

According to recent repors, ebay may be trying to crack down on domain names left in feedback, but tons of sellers are actively doing it.
