- I sell 99 items for $1 each and get positive feedback on all of them. I then sell 1 item for $100 but never deliver it, and get negative feedback. Despite only delivering on $99 out of $199 of items I would end up with a 99% feedback rating!
Does this sort of deception occur on eBay? I'm going to find out. I'll search through 100 eBay usernames and provide two variables as results:
- %feedback, which is the percentage of positive feedback for a user
- $feedback, which is the percentage of dollars of positive feedback out of all dollars a user has transactions for
For the example a few paragraphs above, I would have a %feedback of 99 and a $feedback of 49.7
Watch this space!
