You would need to ask them

 

Why can't people spend one second to press one button and look?

 

Clearly not too important if that is too much trouble to do

 

Even if they did, it is not an accurate reflection of what their feedback is really like, or the *reason* they are not 100%

 

And people people for some reason think  98% is good for a high volume seller (hint, it is'nt, far from it) 

 

So showing it will only encourage people to buy from shoddy sellers, since so few bother to look at who they are buying from before they do so, and then complain they bought from China and got from China (for example) 

 

Why encourage laziness and poor choices when it is already the cause of totally avoidable issues?

I think that in the past both rating and seller's ID were visible on search pages, but unfortunately not all changes implemented on the website are for the better.

The quickest way to know now is probably to click on the + item on the images on the search page if you don't want to go to the listing and then possibly find similar items on your home page because of algorithms.

The reason for seeing the sellers rating on the first page would be to narrow your search down. If 200 matches come up on your search and you were able to see the rating, it would give you a starting point to view a limited amount of sellers.
