Good Buy Box Percentage Benchmark
Essential Amazon seller metric for profitability
For private-label brands with the only offer on the listing, a good Buy Box percentage is 95% or higher. Any dip below 90% usually flags a pricing issue, an out-of-stock event, or a hijacker on the listing. Wholesale and reseller ASINs with 2-5 competing offers typically win Buy Box 40-70% of the time.

Available at: ASIN, SKU
Buy Box % = Units won as featured offer / Total units where the ASIN was live × 100Your ASIN was live for 30 days. On 4 of those days a hijacker undercut your price and stole 60% of Buy Box on those days. Overall Buy Box % = (26 × 100 + 4 × 40) / 30 = 92%. That 8-point dip translated to lost sales and lost ad efficiency (ads only spend when you own the Buy Box).
