Since hardly anyone gives FB anymore shouldn't ebay also tell the # of sales a seller has had

in a given amount of time on their FB page? I find that only 10-15% of my buyers leave FB nowadays for me. For someone like me who only sells maybe 100-200 items a year on ebay at the very most, I might only get 10 or 20 feedbacks in a year even thou...
