Here's the link: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=tloceposter If you have 6302 different individual positive feedbacks, divided by 6305 (total number of different individual positive feedbacks, plus the 3 different, individual negative feedbacks), you get .9995241, which gets rounded up to 100%.  If he received one more negative feedback his percentage would drop down to 99.9%.  NEUTRAL feedbacks have NO impact on feedback percentage, even though we all realize neutrals are usually thinly veiled negatives.   Marty Davis Vintage Film Posters P.O.
