Title: Seller's ranking or rating
Post by: goblin on March 24, 2012, 01:40 pm
Still new in SR, and I am wondering about something. Why is it that no seller that I've seen has a ranking (or is it rating) of over 100? I'm talking about the number that appears in parentheses right after the seller's username.


There have got to be sellers with a lot more than 100 favorable transactions. Why isn't this reflected in that number?

I just had a duh! thought: maybe it's a percentage? That would explain the 100 maximum. If that's it, excuse my ignorance, folks, heh.

Congratulation, you got it!  :-)

You want to look at both though. The higher their ranking (ex. top 10%) and rating (ex. 99% positive feedback) along with their feedback, will give you a better idea of who you should order from when you first start out to maximize the potential of having a good first experience with SR. I know my first order was lost in the mail and I was pretty discouraged from using the site again bit I switched to a higher ranked vender and now having nothing bad to say about this site :)
