I just don't understand how Amazon selling works.

Can a new merchant with 0 sales history become eligible to win either of these boxes - buy used, buy box, more buying options?


As a new seller with 0 feedback and 0 sales history, am I supposed to just rely on the 1% to 10% chance that I get a sale on each item, compared to Featured Merchants who will have 90% chance that they will get sales?

From what I have read, close to 80% to 90% of all customers make a purchase through the buy box or buy used box, or more buying choices box.

That leaves 10% chance for merchants who have listings under new and used. And if there are 5 other competitors under new and used, that leaves a beginning seller like me with 0 feedback and 0 sales history down to a selling chance of close to 1%.

And I am not even eligible for any of these options! Frustrating...

Oh well, That's my understanding so far....
 


Usually when you are new you will have to have a substancially lower price than the more established sellers to get the buy box.

It is not easy to get started and most likely you will lose money to get your account to have some history.

You never know some people like the underdog and will take a chance on you if the price is slightly lower.
