The symbols next to the number represent the feedback score. For example, a yellow star represents a score of between 10 and 49, a blue star is for 50 to 99 and so on. Keep in mind, these are the numbers of positive feedback and don’t reflect the percentage, so someone with a score of 12 with a yellow star has had 12 satisfactory transactions.
