Willing to wait or Want it Faster?
Been playing around with some pricing on a bike lock.
The featured seller has less feedback.
When we have the Buy Box despite being cheaper than them, it has a box with “Willing to wait?” displayed and them as the seller?
However, when we increase our price above theirs, we don’t get the “Want it Faster?” tag
And this is when we are slightly cheaper but delivery tomorrow? 3rd place seller is some £6 more expensive for info!!!

i can’t see where you are on those but if you play around with different postcodes, you may get a different result as it depends on the location of the stock compared to the location of the buyer

These “Why am I not getting the Buy Box” questions are a little pointless. What you see is likely to be different to what I and others see and also it will be different from day to day and different times in the day.
As the Buy Box is shared, sometimes you get it, sometimes you don’t.
The main thing is to have clean metrics. Then be as price competitive as you wish, offer a good service and stop worrying about it.
Also remember, as per your example, Amazon’s algorithms don’t always yield the correct output on the listing pages.
Remember the UPS stupidity when parcel prices for shipping to FCs was more expensive when they had a money-off promotion and cheaper when the promotion ended?
