Title: Numbers after vendor's names?
Post by: TalkingHead on December 29, 2011, 06:43 pm
I've searched around the forums, and probably missed it, but can someone please tell me what the numbers after vendor's names mean and how they are created?

Thanks.

It is the % of positive feedback, don't relay just in this number, check also how many orders the vendor has completed, it is not the same 100% on 5 orders and 97% on +250.

Cheers.

One other thing to keep in mind is the vendor's *recent* feedback.  It seems there have been cases lately of long-time vendors that had good reputations suddenly going tits-up for whatever reason - so even if someone has 99% positive from 250+ transactions, if you start seeing a lot of 1/5 ratings come in, or if the vendor hasn't done anything at all in the last couple of months, it may (and it may not - use your best judgment) be cause for concern.

I wish the numbers were just the number of positive feedbacks instead of a %

also agree. some buyers like to be dicks and leave low feedback too.
