Buy Box / Featured Offer Eligibility
My Featured Offer Eligibility (buy box) was very severly downgraded several weeks ago. I see that I do occasionally get a buy box hear and there. However when I look closely at my entire inventory I see that when I am the only one with that book (product) I never get a buy box. In all cases when Amazon puts it self in the buy box and there are listings below "other sellers on Amazon" I am never listed even when my price is the lowest. Looking at some of the sellers that are listed in "other sellers on Amazon", many have feedback ratings of 80% and below. My feedback ratings is 98%. My account health has been in great for years.My Account Health Rating is 212 (which is well into the green). My ODR .43,feedback 98% positive for the past 12 months,A-Z claim 0,Chargebacks 0 ,Valid Tracking Rate 100%, Irregularities and so on 0. My orders almost stopped. My Account Health Rating is 212. I see from reading other posts i the Account Health area that I am not the only one. I have am however unsure what caused this. The only thing that I can imagine is recently receiving my first negative rating in about 2 years. It does seem like Amazon has started making the eligibility for featured offer more for High Volume Sellers. To summarize, even through i have an occasional buy box my Featured Offer Eligibility has been predominantly removed.

Hello @Seller_CTBsnOKvosc1p
Thank you for posting your inquiry to the Forums.
There can be a variety of factors that comprise featured offer eligibility. I have included some resources below:
How do I become eligible for the Featured Offer?
Featured Offer eligibility is based on a variety of factors that can affect the customer experience. These factors are evaluated for all sellers, even if you are the only seller. Below are a couple of examples:
- Type of selling plan: If you are fulfilling orders yourself, you must have a Professional Selling Plan.
- Metrics: Your Order Defect Rate, Cancellation Rate, and Late Shipment Rate are metrics that help determine eligibility—the better you perform, the higher your chances are of becoming Featured Offer eligible. You can see how you're doing on the Account Health page.
Seller Central: Featured Offer Info & Eligibility Checker
Seller Central: Becoming the Featured Offer
- Price your items competitively
- Offer faster shipping and free shipping (Note: Products with faster estimated delivery times are also more likely to be the featured offers on product detail pages)
- Provide great customer service
- Keep stock available.
Seller Central - View Featured Offer (Buy Box) Eligibility in Manage Inventory
- First, check eligibility
- Then, in Seller Central, go to your Manage Inventory page and then click Preferences

How can I drive sales without the Featured Offer?
- Use high resolution images with clear detail.
- Include key features with benefits listed in your bullet points.
- Make sure your product is classified in the right category for easier discovery through browsing.
- Research the competition as you develop a compelling price point.
- Follow up each order with great customer service.
- Offer free shipping, which can encourage buyers come back to Amazon.
