Phantom percentage drop ....anyone else effected?

Has anyone have a percentage drop for no reason?  Mine went from 99.9 to 99.8.

I have had no sales since end of October and no feedback given since end of October as none were due.

Strange Phantom at work or another ebay glitch.....just weird !

You might have had a large % of positives wiped from say January 2014, which has bought it down.. If your only negs or neutrals were recent, it will drop further as you lose more positives each month

I think..

Me thinks you are spot on lizzy.

Yes agree with other posters.

 

If you want to prevent further drop of percentage rate, based on the timing of your single negative,  you may need to sell more goods that result in postive feedback only, it depends on the date that the single negative feedback was received and the total number of positives that will also be included in the annual count.

 

 

 

 

Or you could buy stuff too, all positives count towards the percentage.

It's only a matter of 10 feedbacks or so making the difference between whether your % gets rounded up to 99.9 or down to 99.8. Doing the maths:

 

666 divided by 667 = 99.85007%

656 divided by 657 = 99.94779%

 

Anyway, yeah just buy 10 more low value things as the other poppy has suggested if you want to see your % go higher.

Argh. Make that:

 

666 divided by 667 = 99.85007% ---> rounds to 99.9

656 divided by 657 = 99.84779% ---> rounds to 99.8
