Thanks for that warm welcome back Puppy - much appreciated. I'll have to show that pic to Mini & Maxi when I get home from work.
I never did figure out how to do that image thing.
The more I think about it the fewer problems I can see with the idea of an automatic positive feedback. Rather than a blank comment line it could read "This Feedback was automatically generated as no response was received from the buyer/seller after 90 days" or something.
That way "real' feedback with it's complimentary comments would still be preferable, and taking the trouble to give it would show a genuine desire to praise the other party for a job well done.
Don't know how eBay would take to it though.
