Sellers rating level not reflected in Advanced\Completed items search

Hello Everyone,
Newby with a question, and don't want to miss any red flags. I am interested in a revolver from a seller rated with (A+ 88). But when doing an Advanced\Completed Item search using the Seller's name only three(3) items show. Should this be of any concern? Thanks in advance for any advice given.
More later.

Contact the seller and ask him about the discrepancy. anything from us would just be a wild * guess.

A+88 is total transactions (buying and selling).
There are alot of us that buy more than we sell.
I think the completed search only goes so far back in time, so anything the guy sold a couple years ago won't show up.
You can only see 90 days in the past when looking at closed auctions.
The A+88 is feedback.....that is the rating that buyers have left for that seller, not all buyers leave feedback, but the ones that do you can see. You can check the link to the auction and see the items they bought if it isn't over 90 days old.
If you are looking at the sellers items that have closed its just going to show you the last 90 days, but feedback is forever and you will see any feedback anyone has given...no mater how old the sale is. I'd say around 60% of people leave feedback.
No, that shouldn’t be of concern. A+ with 88 feedbacks is respectable. I’d also consider how many of those were as a seller (not a buyer), professionalism of the post, recency of feedback, and sale terms. If you’re still uncomfortable, contact the seller and see if you get the “warm and fuzzy”.
Welcome to the forums…no get out there and bid!
Thank you all! I am most appreciative and surprised at the number and quality of the answers to my 'simpleton' question. I'm not a social media fan (none at all) but have stood up on my back legs to notice the outpour of support here. Again, thanks, and very comforting to know that caring and knowledgeable people are still willing to help a perfect stranger. Wow!
