What happened?
Amazon is simplifying the mechanism for obtaining the Featured Offer (Buy Box) by eliminating the previous independent qualification pre-assessment step. The new evaluation system will merge metrics such as order defect rates and refund rates with pricing and delivery speed, aiming to allow more sellers the opportunity to win the Featured Offer.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
This adjustment will enhance competitive dynamics, and sellers must continuously monitor store performance to maintain product competitiveness in the Buy Box. Failure to maintain high service levels may risk a loss of market share. The top priority: optimize store operations to ensure ongoing compliance with performance metrics.
