"Why do you consider 97.2% a "terrible" feedback"

Because the odds of the buyer becoming one of the unhappy 3% is 10 times
higher than if his rating was 99.7% and 100 times higher than if his rating
was 99.97%.

I have only been cheated once on eBay, and it was by someone that had a
lower feedback rating.

If you are giving money to someone, do you want them to be honest 97% or
100% of the time? Sure there is the occasional time when a buyer will not
be happy, but I consider 3% significant.
