I think ebay feedback system is currently messed up (software bug/glitch)

Trying to leave a bunch of feedback for recent purchases. I keep getting the following error:



"Your Feedback comment contains prohibited words or Web addresses. Please revise your comment."

Tried different browsers, all the same. Anybody else seeing this?

I just tried "Smooth transaction. Thanks!" and got the same error (and that's my usual feedback comment).

They just started using the MRF Nanny filter.

Analyzing this sample size of two examples, it seems like "Thanks!" may be prohibited.

I tried at least a half dozen very innocuous feedbacks before giving up and posting here.

Just logged a feedback consisting of "Thanks!" and encountered no issues. Either the problem is fixed, or that isn't the problem.

I just left feedback for a $1300 eBay transaction with "good deal, thanks!"
Went through without a hitch.

The only difference I can tell is that I left one feedback. And you are leaving "a bunch" of feedbacks with the same exact wording(?) like a bot. It's definitely not the wording. It must be the repetitive nature of your feedback posting.

Maybe rotate them with "great deal, thank you!", "Thanks! Good deal", "Thank you!!", etc.

I first noticed it yesterday while trying to give a single feedback. Then, I tried the multi-feedback, then back to the single. I've done this exact same thing hundreds of times without issue. I vary my feedback, so I don't think it's content-related. And I only give feedback once every couple of weeks or so, so it can't be because I appear like a bot in terms of frequency.

It has to be some sort of glitch on ebay's servers.
