Default What keeps a seller(big) from getting the buybox?

A seller is selling an item cheap but not getting the buybox. I use to sell this item, and have figured out I can sell this item 3x then what this seller is selling for.

I already bought from him and sold a bunch, but what is keeping him from getting the buybox? It seems like this is a distributor, because hes selling all of the same brand and getting 100feedbacks a month. His feedback is 100%

His metrics are perfect, shipping speed is perfect. why isnt he getting the buybox?

I just purchased another 75 items, if he gets the buybox they are useless to me.

Seller will probably have over 1% ODR on his AZ metrics...

^This. They're much more strict about that 1% ODR taking away the buybox. The algorithm also acts much quicker than the old days. If it's 1.05 for just a day too long, they could take the buybox away.

I was thinking ODR, but he has 100% feedback. Doesnt make sense.
