Feedback information requested

Hi all,

How does feedback work?

I am currently on 54. Today a new buyer gave me some positive feedback, but i am still on 54, instead of 55! Any reason why? Has anyone else come across this?

it may take a few hours to add it on... unless he was already a previous buyer?

Never bought/sold from him before, so i reckon it will just get added later. I have 59 positives, but i think some of those are from previous buyers/sellers etc, so that would make sense.

**EDIT**

Forget it, I have my 55 points! I wonder why they take so much time to add it?

Happens to me quite a lot, sometimes the feedback will appear but the total remains the same like it has with you, nothing to worry about just means eBay's servers are probably taking a bit of nap

Why doesn't previous buyers feedback count?

Surely if they receive good service again we deserve the credit.

I think it's to discourage people boosting their feedbacks with an alias. And it seems appropriate when, for example if someone buys 3 items from you at the same time, you're only sending out one package and receiving one payment, so it's really only one overall transaction.
