TL;DR: Please display the seller's positive/negative feedback ratio next
to the store name, instead of a flat feedback count.

----

(My other post goes into too much detail, so I'm pulling out my actual suggestion
into another post.)

I recently purchased from a seller who is now suspended. It turns out, there
were warning signs buried in his feedback about three or four pages back, but
most of his feedback was positive.

I realized after this experience that there is no indication about the seller's
positive or negative ratings, like there is on eBay or Amazon.

There is a number which can indicate the feedback count, but this is not helpful.

If instead of a flat number, it indicates the amount of positive/negative feedback,
I would have dug deeper into the seller's feedback. At least I would have
known that this seller was a risk, and there was a 1 in 50 chance he'll take
3 weeks before he ships.

You can click on the words neutral and negative to view only the neutrals or
negatives.
There's already a feedback percentage shown.

The feedback ratio you are requesting already exists in the form of a percentage
as "##% praise".

The isolation of it, the disassociation with the rest of the store information,
is the problem. Now that I've learned my lesson and filed this idea, I now
know where to look. However, I was more referring to everywhere else a store
is referenced.
