Why does Amazon give the buy box to an offer that is 40% higher and takes longer to receive? There are many. Seems like they do not have the customer's best interest at heart!

I do not see how its possible to know the rules of the buy box.

I do know that most sellers, eventually, get a share of the buy box which is why its important to deal with listing hijackers who are pricing higher than you even though it might seem silly to care.

FBA offers almost always get BB preference over FBM. Regardless of price or delivery time.

Hello @Seller_cUyueEExXtINN,

Unfortunately, the Featured Offer is given according to internal criteria and it's not possible to share why it may be granted or not.

I would recommend reviewing the Become the Featured Offer for tips on how to get the Featured Offer.

Regards,

- Manny
