Can some kind soul direct me toward information that explains why my listings are so frequently at the bottom of the list of dealers offering a product?
ODR is always good, presently 0
Late shipment rate is 0
Valid tracking rate 100%
Over 90% of orders ship within 24 hours.
Feedback is tough - presently at 93%. Feedback is so scarce that 1 bad FB can cost me a 5 point drop. Yet, sellers with 77% FB and lower always seem to be well above me.
I know many of my competitors are higher volume sellers. If that's the ticket then it's a vicious cycle that I can't beat.
How are your prices and shipping compared to other sellers?

Since you responded to @Seller_OvL8C4BJWiuS9with the MAP information, it is most likely arranged by WHEN other sellers started selling the items.
I have similar situations and move up gradually as other sellers that started selling before me run out of inventory. When they have zero stock I move up the ranks and they stay below me after they restock as far as I have seen.
