iTrader question: why is my total positive feedback higher than my feedback score?

[brancron]

Feedback Score: 46
Positive Feedback: 100.0%
Members who left positive: 46
Members who left negative: 0
Total positive feedback: 51

I'm just curious where the 51 comes from in this instance, and why it's 5 points higher than the total.

Thanks!

Because your feedback score is based on the number of people, not the number transactions. If one person gives you feedback on 4 transactions, your total will go up by 4...but your score will only go up by one.
Repeat customers are great - but they don't improve your trader rating

Oh, that makes perfect sense, thank you!
