Lost Buy Box (Featured Offer) MEGATHREAD

I'm getting nowhere with Seller Support (Live Chat & Phone), made a ticket asking for escalation, E-Mailed CEO's office and got a pretty rude reply, I'm at a total loss as to what to do. I have lost the buy box for ALL of my key products and best sellers, I am the brand owner, I am the only offer.

I am stunned at how little support there is from Amazon, I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was THIS BAD. Absolutely no transparency what-so-ever, nothing on performance notifications, account health is perfect, no violations, I am enrolled on the new Account Health Assurance scheme (which gave me peace of mind for all of 3 days).

With the CEO's office giving me the cold shoulder, seller support sending me links to 'Seller University', spending in excess of 10 hours trying almost everything on my account blindly, I'm at a complete loss sitting here with next to no sales. So my last resort is this... a mega thread... I'm hoping with enough people complaining about the issue, Amazon MAY acknowledge this problem as a bug/glitch before I have to file for bankruptcy (no exaggeration) and when they do, I also expect no apology or compensation.

ATTENTION: First piece of actual explanation I've received after this was resolved for me was a closing note from the CEO's office:

Greetings from Amazon Selling Partner Support Executive Escalation Department.

In relation to your featured offer issue I can confirm this has been reviewed by our technical team who confirmed the fix as the override has been granted,

All your listings should be now eligible for the featured offer / buy box privileges,

I would recommend anyone who sees this please email CEO's office managingdirector @ amazon (.co.uk) for a quicker resolution until there's a permanent fix in place!

Dear Spencer,

Can you please submit our ASIN to the Buy Box team?

ASIN: B0CS3WG2Z9 (marketplace: germany)

Out of nowhere we lost the buy box despite:

  • Selling at the first row of page 1
  • Very competitive price
  • High stock and FBA
  • Excellent reviews (including Vine reviews)
  • Account is healthy
  • Order defect rate 0% (no negative feedback, no claims, etc.
  • Excellent customer service
  • We do not sell the product at other platforms/websites
  • As only seller of this product we offer a complete set, making it a unique and authentic offer, which is also reflected in our sales.

We only have 1 invoice defect because I forgot to upload the invoice to a business customer within 1 day after shipment. However, we lost our buy box at the day this order shipped so I guess this should not have triggered the algorithm.

It leaves us with our back against the wall and it causes us great distress and pressure.

Kind regards,

Cas

Hi

Could someone take a look at ASIN: B0050O6F78 (UK marketplace)

The competitive external price recently (last couple of days) became unrealistically low resulting in the featured offer/buy box being removed from the listing.

I can't see any third-party seller being able to get anywhere near the current competitive external price.

Best

Simon

Hello, we have had buyboxes for our Brand registered ASINs suppressed. We are the registered owner for these products and the price suggestions by Amazon are way below our MAP. Can you please help us review these ASINs? This is the 3rd time I have had to submit these ASINs and I'm hoping for a more permanent solution this time around. Thank you!

I am saddened to say that our shop has recently experienced a loss of buy box for all ASIN in the shop, and I hope you can help with a complaint to resolve it!

However, in an accident we suddenly lost the entire shop buy box, and has been more than ten days without recovery, this has caused a great impact on our sales, the shop unit volume from the original more than 100 orders fell to a few orders a day, with the passage of time the impact is still aggravated, I'm very sad that this caused us irreparable significant losses, I earnestly request you to help us apply for the recovery of the buy box, we have been We have been abiding by Amazon's policies and hope to have a long term cooperation with Amazon, I hope you can help us deal with restoring our buy box! @Spencer_Amazon
