Just a funny thing I noticed. I have 58 positives from 56 unique users. No negatives, no neutrals. Yet my rating is 55. Can anyone explain why it isn't adding up?

Well that is one of the stranger things I've seen! Can't figure out that one - obviously a software flaw, but such a simple computation that it is worrysome how bad the programming must be on eBay!

I've seen it happen before but it usually only lasts til the next cache. Write to support and ask them what's going on.
What you have is the remainder after eBay took their percentage.
Don't you remember the announcement.
Something about they needing positive feedbacks for their failing selling businesses.
It was sandwiched between the fuzzy math explaining how Billpoint was the lowest cost CC processor, when you didn't include the transfer fee, and why the SAB customers would have to pay a monthly fee for the listing program they purchased.
If you look around I'm sure you'll find it being used on the Butterfield or eBay Motor's sites.
Last year it was only a dollar, this year it's only a feedback.
You better shut-up before you make the Greed God angry and they turn the whole world into a company town.

Yesterday I saw a post in Soapbox referring to a problem like this. One person's feedback was reading (0) and if you clicked on the number they had one positive feedback and no negs.
Someone made mention that there was a post on the Feedback board for members to report this kind of thing as apparently some kind of glitch has developed and they're working on fixing it.

yisgood: This surprises you perhaps? Whatever gave you the strange notion that the folks at eBay could add? They cain't spell, their grammar ain't no good neither, nor can they cipher nor count!
Reston_Ray: I've always wondered - is your name really Reston? Or are you, shall we say, a little backwards at times? LOVE your GreedGod name for eBay. Best one yet!
