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!

post. Has anyone had any positive update on this as of yet?

I agree that it is ridiculous and the automated case responses are incredibly frustrating,

Please can someone from Amazon look into my ASIN B0CVV6S5M2 and provide an update on the featured offer box will be returned to us?

This is severely damaging to small businesses such as my own.

We pay thousands upon thousands to Amazon in fees, professional seller plans, ppc all for a poorly implemented system to come along effectively making your best selling products invisible

ATTENTION!!!I'm having the same issue we need to create a bit of noise on social media its pointless doing it on here so what we do is create a MEGA thread on twitter and start retweeting the hell out of it i will get this actioned a bit quicker

this has worked before on fast tracking section 3's

everyone on twitter needs to retweet and tag amazon

here is the link to my tweet you will need to add the https in

Hello all

Some positive news today, my ASIN has had its Featured Buy Box returned after 5 days of it being removed. This is the email I received from Selling Partner Support Executive.

"Dear Selling Partner,

Greetings from Amazon Selling Partner Support Executive Escalation Department.

I understand your query is regarding winning the Buy-Box towards ASIN XXXXXXX.

We are pleased to inform you that Buy-Box has already been granted to the above-mentioned ASIN, which you can confirm through the below link:"

I'm not sure if I'm just lucky, but here are the steps I took anyway in case it helps other people currently suffering

1) Contact SS and tell them the Featured Buy Box is missing. They will likely fob you off with links and tell you that they can't help further. You need to get a Case ID for the next step.

2) Email managingdirector@amazon.co.uk and explain the issue, you must have the Case ID or else they too will dismiss your email. In my case my ASIIN had recently suffered slightly worse performance than previously, so I did apologise and told them I have increased PPC ad spend and decreased the price (not sure if this is relevant to everyone, I am doing PL FBA).

That's it. I hope everyone gets their ASINS sorted quickly. It's certainly made me think if I didn't know this already that Amazon can take away all your business at a whim. I shall be diversifying away to other platforms as well in future if possible.

Good luck all.

Hi @Spencer_Amazon. I am seriously stressing this week. My whole inventory has lost featured offer, seller support are a joke., I have members of staff off work due to no work and I simply cannot afford to pay them, they have families to feed. This is incredibly detrimental to us as a business and I need some support, like other we have lost featured offer for no apparent reason, therefore we are not getting sales. This has affected at least 260 ASINS, we sell animal feed and are sitting on a considerable amount of stock that needs to be moved in a certain timeframe. Here are some of the many ASINS affected: B07P7HZNT9

Hi everyone, my store has lost the Featured Offer for more than a month. I have tried all the methods but it still doesn’t work.

My account is in normal status and in good condition, no performance notifications, no chargebacks, all asins are FBA.

I have been selling FBA on Amazon for about 3 months. account health 208. buybox disappeared for no reason. I checked all the products and I am the cheapest seller. Prices are automatically set to the cheapest. The products are shipped from the Amazon warehouse. I have not been able to find a solution for a week and the Amazon help page cannot solve my problem. I have not received any warning and I cannot sell.

I am writing to express my concern regarding a significant issue with my Amazon UK and Italy seller accounts. Despite meeting all the requirements to qualify for the Buy Box, my listings have recently lost the Buy Box, which has severely impacted my business and buyer experience.

1.My account has no performance issues.

2.My products are consistently making daily sales.

3.I am using a Professional Selling Plan.

4..All my items are fulfilled by Amazon (FBA).

5.My Order Defect Rate (ODR) and Invoice Defect Rate (IDR) are both 0%.

6.My feedback rating is 5.0.

Additional Information:

Sales Country Sites: UK, IT

Products ASIN: B0CXX89LW1, B0CXX6ZLCM, B0D8PMH5S1, B0CXXJT9FK, B0CXX5HMMZ, B0CZ6PHMTC

Given the above, it is clear that my account complies with all the criteria necessary to be eligible for the Buy Box. The sudden loss of the Buy Box has caused a substantial negative impact on my store's business operations and has adversely affected the shopping experience of my customers. I suspect that this issue might be a system bug.

I kindly request your urgent assistance in investigating and resolving this matter. Restoring the Buy Box for my listings is crucial for the sustainability of my business and for maintaining a positive customer experience.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your swift resolution.

UPDATE:

All my ASINS are now back, process for me:

  • Gave Spencer my ASIN list.
  • Opened numerous tickets
  • Emailed managingdirector@amazon.co.uk

Not sure which one did the trick (if any) - mine went off on 27th (morning) - back on 1st.

UPDATE!!!

My listings have returned to normal, totaling 10. It seems that other sellers have also regained their buy box privileges. It appears that this was a bug, but we cannot let it slide. We have all suffered losses in sales, profit, and sales rank. In just the past two months, we have invested 10k in Amazon ads for the affected listings. We all need to come together and hold them accountable. I propose creating a thread on Reddit so we can all discuss this without being silenced by this forum. We need to take this to court or the Office of Fair Trading for compensation.

We are contacting you because all the asin in my account suddenly lost the recommendation quotation qualification yesterday. This is unusual! ! Because our account products including buyer feedback are all good. Before yesterday, my daily sales were hundreds of orders. And this problem does not only occur to me, but also to many sellers around me. So I hope you can investigate carefully and restore our recommendation quotation qualifications. Thanks
