Ebay don't know how to calculate percentage

They probably use "More than " + ceil(sold/total) + "% sold!!1!" or something allong those lines. Blame the CS majors etc.

Thanks for the input! That explains the strange number.
They should have used "floor" together with "More than."
I blame marketing/sales since I'm a MS CS myself :)

It's also possible that it uses a noSQL solution that only gives ballpark numbers instead of exact values (might be faster for some queries).

How the fuck would marketing be guilty for a programming error?

For fucks sake CS people nowadays. We know that you have shit for brains but at least accept it so that you keep your dignity.

It doesn't do decimal places. 2 of 197 is 1.015% Thus, 1% and 99%.
>>
>>7756746
I really doubt people are selling quantities large enough for that to matter. Even if you're selling over a million of something that won't matter at all. Or am i not understanding it correctly?
>>
>>7756824
No, I suspect you're right. It was just a thought.

This is what you sound like

It's 99% if you round up, it's never "more than 99%"

This is the most autistic thread I have ever read.
