I have 94% + feedback on amazon, over 365 days.


Wouldn't that mean that 6 people out of 100 were so disatisfied with
your service that they left a negative comment?
FWIW 94%-96% is the cutoff point I use when determining if I'll buy
from an Amazon seller, so you are right on the cusp.
A seller with a lower rating than that might get my business if he
prices his item extraordinarily low but usually I'll pay a few bucks
more to buy from a seller with a high feedback %.
I'm not saying anything about you as a seller other than that 94% is
nothing to brag about.


No, it doesn't mean that as 3% it is 'neutral' feedback, which amazon
counts against a seller.
Amazon does not encourage mutual feedback, so it is much harder to
maintain the 99.6% I have on Ebay on amazon. This is a problem
amazon.com dealers discuss endlessly. Have you ever had a customer
slime your feedback because he didn't like the ending of a book, or
the USPS misrouted the shipment? I certainly have. Almost all my
negative feedback is caused by the USPS screwing deliveries up.
