How can a seller have 5 different feedback numbers for the one id?

[i-once-was-bump]

I have been looking at tripods and one seller has 5 different feedback numbers for their sales of tripods.

They have feedback of 197, 184, 177 and 2 others I can't remember.
When I actually look at an item the feedback shows as 197 no matter which one I choose and the id is identical for the 5 items.

What is going on?

What is going on, bump, is as it always been - the seller feedback number is what it was when the item was listed.

Welcome back.

Oh dear, I must have forgotten that ebay isn't always in real time.
