Number next to username on AlphaBay?

The number in parentheses directly to the right of a vendor name on AlphaBay. I thought it indicated the number of transactions, is that correct?

Reason why I'm now unsure is that XanXanMan's number has shot up by almost 3000 in just a few days, whereas Pharmak1ng1, who seems like a vendor of relatively the same size, has only gone up by about 20 in that same period. So what gives? What am I missing here?

Yeah its number of sales, if anyones is raising 3000 in a few days then that's feedback padding and should you report said actions they will be banned, someone a bit shadier than me might suggest deleting this thread and trying to blackmail the vendor before anyone else sees this and reports them
