The Featured Offer is the offer near the top of a product detail page, which customers can select to buy now or add to their shopping carts.
A key feature of the Amazon website is that the same product can be sold by several sellers. If several sellers offer the same product in "new" condition, they may be eligible to compete for the Featured Offer for that product (as long as it can be shipped to the customer's selected address).
To give customers the best possible shopping experience, sellers must meet performance-based requirements to be eligible to compete for Featured Offer placement. For many sellers, Featured Offer placement can lead to increased sales.
When a seller becomes the Featured Offer on an offer’s product detail page, that seller’s specific information (respective offer price and seller name) will be displayed on the product detail page.
From 28 January 2021, sellers are able to become the Amazon UK Books Featured Offer. Only "New" condition books are eligible.

The remaining seller offers are available to customers who select the new & used (or new) link at the bottom of the More Buying Choices box to go to the offer listing page.
Since seller performance requirements can vary by category and are subject to change, we do not disclose specific targets needed to become an eligible seller; however, becoming an eligible seller requires meeting very high standards, and excelling in the qualifying criteria is the best way to work toward achieving this status. If you are an eligible seller, you can increase your chances of becoming the Featured Offer by following these guidelines:
Offer multiple shipping options on your products, including free shipping. You can manage your available shipping options on your Current Shipping Rates and Settings page in Seller Central.
The Account Health page in your seller account can help you track your performance.
