How to Master and Win the Amazon Buy Box in 2022
Amazon Buy Box Eligibility: FBA Sellers Guide
for 2022
1. What is Buy Box? How It Works for
Sellers?
Amazon is
an internationally vast marketplace. Amazon itself sells products with wide
range of categories; also third-party retailers, who typically specialize in
one or more categories. There are two types of sellers on Amazon, Amazon
itself, and third-party sellers. As, there is no limit to the number of sellers
who can use Amazon platform can be multiple sellers on Amazon which result in
frequent sell of the same item (such sellers are known as resellers).
Do you know
that 83% of all Amazon sales happen through the Buy Box? Consequently, if
you’re not in the Buy Box, your chances of making a sale are pretty less.
Amazon Buy
Box eligibility is defined as “Professional Sellers” who have met Amazon’s
performance-based requirements.
Buy Box is the highlighted box in the above image that allows customers to add items for purchase in their carts. Not every seller is eligible to have a Buy Box.
When
customer buying multiple products, there will be more buying option for buyer.
When a buyer selects “Add to Cart”
the seller who has the Buy Box
at that moment in time gets that all-important
sale and makes a quick purchase without considering who they are buying
from (Amazon or a third-party seller).
As there is
a high competition on Amazon, thanks to its customer’s first approach, only
sellers with exceptional metrics have a chance to win a share of this beneficial
feature.
If you pass
Amazon’s minimum eligibility requirements, Amazon further distinguish the
sellers according to different variables. If a single seller have strong
variables than his percentage share for Buy Box will be higher. For the top selling
items with many sellers, Amazon may rotate their spot on Buy Box.

Variables that makes you Buy Box
Eligible.

Professional Account: Only Sellers who have purchased a Professional Account
(Pro-Merchant Account) are eligible. Sellers who have an individual account
(Basic Account) are not eligible.

than you will have a different Buy Box as “Buy Used Box.”

Box, there are 4 key metrics that will favor to be fit in Amazon’s algorithms.

prove to be an essential choice to get the Buy Box.

allows you to deliver directly to domestic Prime customers from your own
warehouse.

shipping.

is the shipping time in which the seller promises to ship the product to its
customer. For time critical categories such as birthday cards or perishable
goods this impact may be even higher.

Tracking Rate - In order to protect your Buy Box eligibility, valid tracking numbers
should be provided for 90% of packages shipped on the basis of the last seven
