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).

>>7756393
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.

>>7755847
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

>>7756808

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

This is the most autistic thread I have ever read.
