i dont understand the rating system, how can a seller with 80% feedback be ranked in single numbers and a seller like me with 100% be ranked after them? this just dont make any sense and its all because they have more sells!
-
I think it makes sense, I'd probably trust a long term vendor with 800/1000 successful orders (provided that the low scores are interspersed and not all recent) versus a vendor with 2/2 successful orders
-
The rating is a trust based system, more or less.
If you see a vendor with 100 transactions and an 83% rating, they would be far more trustworthy than a vendor with 10 ratings at 100%. Pretty obvious why, I think.

yeah i see what your saying but my point is if your doing it on feedback scores i think someone who has say 50-100 who has worked there arse off to keep it at 100 has to rank higher than a vendor with 80% and 200-250 because that means he has messed up 20% of his orders us someone who has messed up 0% of there orders ???
for instance;
vendor A
done 250 transactions got a score of 80% this means he has messed up on 50 orders out of 250 meaning you have a 20% chance he'll mess your order up
vender B
done 50 transactions got a score of 100% this means hes never messed an order up and you have a 0% chance of him messing your order up
thats all im saying

fair point yeah, but ive managed to keep 100% for 3months nearly now and to be honest if you do as you say you will and be fair i think i can keep my 100% as i have only had one problem in 3 months so i resent order and it got sized for a second time i refunded the order, also i think from my point of view if your dealing with a vendor with 100% feedback then the vendor will do everything poss to keep that score and that means keeping his customers happy
maybe your right its only a matter of time until i have 250+ transactions i nearly have 50 now so i will continue to keep my customers happy and i hope to keepmy score :)
