I have lost my buy boxes
I have sold books on Amazon for 14 years.
Last month, I used to have from 1 to 4% listings with buy box and sales were very good, so much that I was planning to enlarge the business.
Then, suddenly, I have lost them all.
I have checked my performance, it's healthy, 0.92 errors (one negative feedback last month, 96% year feedback, 97% lifetime, everything else is perfect).
Selling books on Amazon is like crossing the Ocean on an Inflatable boat: it's easy to capsize.
I have checked my listings, in 40% of the time, the buy box went to Amazon, 10% to other sellers, 50% to nobody.
I have enquired with SS and they sent me the usual boiler plate reply.
Either the algorithm is on vacation, or it has decided to eliminate small booksellers.
Any suggestion?

Where are you checking this?
Those stats look odd because, when Amazon has a book in stock, they virtually always get the buybox, in my experience.
