The scoring system for the retailers seems to be a little unfair. From what I see, the overall score is calculated by the number of ratings multiplied by the average overall rating. This means that the overall rating is not an acurate score of the quality of the retailer, just the number of customers. For example, a retailer with 30 ratings all of 5 of 5 would score the same as a retailer with 50 ratings all of 3 of 5, or worse, a retailer with 150 ratings all of 1 of 5. While I understand there has to be some weighting given to the number of ratings, or else a retailer with 1 rating could jump to the top of the table, the way it is at the moment the overall score isn't representative of the best rated retailers.
On the other hand, I'm loving the idea of it!
