For normal members this is true, but for powersellers the feedback
percentage
is calculated differently: "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)."

Does this show Powersellers in a better light than some of them should be
shown? Is it eBay sweetening the stats for the potential buyer's benefit, so
to speak? :/

One could get the impression ... although the official justification is "to
better reflect the fact that many PowerSellers have satisfied, repeat buyers".
