why is my + feedback % increasing so slowly? affecting my sales

[audiovideotogo]

the positive feedback is currently 95.7%, yet  even after I received 6 positives from buyers, and a few from sellers, it has practically not changed at all since the spring

prior to this, the feedback was 100% for eight years 

ebay, btw, is happily collecting $15 to  $20 per month in listing fees, swallowing up most of the meager profits gained ( and in lieu of a valid turbo lister  backup) while this low, recent bad % has had a devastating impact on the sales

any comments or suggestions on this?

by the way, if somebody suggests i 'buy' my way to higher feedback totals  ( by purchasing more) this  has been torpedoed by paypal's  intrusive new  I.D ( picture, tax form, employment history etc)  requirements, blocking paypal made purchases unless those documents are submitted ..... i don't want to pay bank fees on ebay purchases

The lack of new feedback is not affecting your sales as much as that 95.75 rating.

That's very low.

You could try buying (Christmas is coming!) from sellers who leave FB on shipment.

You could also decide to abandon the account for a few months, by which time the neg will have timed out.

You can have several active accounts. And they can all feed into the same Paypal account.
