It varies. If you sell via FBA then you eligible right away. If you sell FBM, then you need to be on the professional selling plan and have a sales history as per number 3 below:
Summary
- Type of selling account: You must have a Professional selling account. Here’s how you can check your current account type and upgrade, if required.
- Performance Metrics: Your Order Defect Rate, Cancellation Rate, and Late Shipment Rate are metrics that determine eligibility - the better you perform, the higher your chances are of becoming Buy Box eligible. You can see how you are doing on the Account Health page.
- Order volume: In order for Amazon to accurately assess your performance, we require that you have sufficient order volume (which varies among categories).

Did you set up as a business? I ask because most people on here report 3 months for a business account to be verified

As per everyone else,
But remember amazon is not a site that you will start “running” instantly you need to walk first.
It takes time for amazon to give you buybox, feedback also can be very slow etc.
Get basics right with Listings, images and above all else you stay fully compliant. the rest will follow

Hi Elysium,
For us doing FBA, it took about 2-3 weeks after which we started getting buy box.
The day after when we received a confirmation email with subject FBA Inbound Shipment Received In-Full, the buy box started kicking in.
FBA shipment goes through multiple processing steps including Shipment created -->
In transit --> Delivered --> Checked in --> Receiving / Received and finally Shipment successfully closed. Until the FBA shipment is not successfully closed by Amazon, you won’t get buy box in case of FBA; based on what we have experienced.
