How PowerSeller Feedback is calculated

The 98% or better positive Feedback rating for PowerSeller programme eligibility is calculated differently than the site Feedback rating visible on the Seller Information and Member Profile pages. The Feedback percentage seen on the rest of the site is calculated based on Feedback only from unique users. The PowerSeller Feedback score is calculated based on total user Feedback, to better reflect the fact that many PowerSellers have satisfied repeat buyers. eBay calculates PowerSeller Feedback by taking the total number of positive Feedbacks and dividing them by the total number of Feedbacks (both positive and negative).
