Why does eBay keep lowering my feedback rating everytime I delist an item?

Hi @shadowrunningman555

Your feedback ratings is unrated to how many items you have for sale (or how many listings you add/end). It is calculated based on the how many positive ratings vs. negative ratings you've had over the past 12 months, updated daily As we are going into the slower months, you are probably receiving less positive feedbacks which means your negative feedback is carrying more weight.

When you click the little information icon next to your feedback percentage, you'll see this:

The positive Feedback percentage is calculated based on the total number of positive and negative Feedback ratings for transactions that ended in the last 12 months, excluding repeat Feedback from the same member for purchases done within the same calendar week (eBay time).
Note: This could mean that the number of ratings used for this calculation is different from the same number shown in the recent ratings table on the left.
Positives / (Positives + Negatives)
This member's 12 month Feedback ratings
Positives: 53 Negatives: 1
This member's positive Feedback percentage
53 / ( 53 + 1 ) = 98.1%
