Airun | 01-06-2014 09:53 AM | Buy Box? I need some advice. I recently upgraded to a pro merchant account, after having an individual selling account for 3 years. I'm selling a movie for $15 less and about 30% less than my competition. How long will it take or will I get the buy box? The seller that has it now is doing FBA, I'm not. But like I said my price is $15 cheaper than his. Right now I'm selling about 4 movies a day but I'm hoping the buy box would increase that. |
TonyAlmeida | 01-06-2014 10:14 AM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. What kind of movie for $45???? Must be a very good one. |
Gamefreak | 01-06-2014 12:19 PM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. you will need way more than 4 sales a day to win the buy box. |
MICKY H | 01-06-2014 01:33 PM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. The FBA seller will always win the buy box no matter what your price is. This one of the great things about FBA. |
TonyAlmeida | 01-06-2014 02:01 PM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. It's is not always Micky, I have item that do FBA but lost the Buy Box to another seller (not FBA).
I think they also look for Feature Merchant first and than FBA. Maybe.
FBA still driving me nut :) Their system is not a real time update I think. |

OP, it seems like you are not getting the buybox because of your volume. It seems like you would be better off using FBA to get the buybox. |

Airun | 01-06-2014 07:33 PM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. How can I increase volume without the buy box? I have the lowest price by $15 and still sell 4 a day. I have no way of telling how many the buy box seller sells. How do you become a featured seller and what does that mean on Amazon? Quote:

But I always get the buy box even over amazon as long as I am 29 cents cheaper than amazon. I have a product for example priced at $16.99, cheapest non FBA seller $8.75 and I get the buy box. This works for me in Uk,De,Fr,USA and Japan. |

That could be the key.
My 1st FBA account is no feedback, no feature merchant and lost the buy box to a non FBA feature merchant, in the even that my price is cheaper.
Anyway, I'm still learning this FBA shi!t, it driving me nut :) |

TonyAlmeida | 01-07-2014 10:12 AM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. Micky,
Let take this item as the example Warning: Direct Amazon link inside
There are two FBA with great feedback and $0.26 cheaper than Amazon but Amazon still win the buy box. Do you mean it have to be $0.29 or more?
Thank you |
MICKY H | 01-07-2014 10:53 AM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. As I sell in a different category the numbers maybe be different. However how I got to 29c was playing with prices. Start say $1 cheaper and see if you get the buy box, then 75cents etc. Amazon updates pretty quickly so it does not take to long. |
Airun | 01-07-2014 11:50 AM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. My competitor raised his price $5 and still has the Buy Box. That makes me $20 cheaper than him. HOW DO I GET THE BUY BOX!!! |

If you are a new seller and doing really well then you will get the box within 3-4 months. Otherwise it can take 6-8 months. I suggest you start getting feedbacks.
Hope it help :)) |
Airun | 01-07-2014 09:15 PM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. The account has lifetime feedback over 300 all positive. 46 positive in the past year with a little over $20,000 made in that year. Seller rating is 100. I signed up for pro merchant 5 days ago. Do I have to be a pro merchant for longer to get the Buy Box? |

Something like media and electronics you might need to do 20k a month to get the buybox. |
Airun | 01-08-2014 01:12 AM | Re: Buy Box? I need some advice. Wow $20,000 a month? This movie is the only thing I sell on this account. I'll never get to that amount. Didn't know you had to be selling a high volume on your account to get Buy Box. | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:40 PM. | |
