Considering the nature of business… I can’t get past two “friends” wanting to compete with each other with the same products.
I mean what are you thinking!? I can understand you wanting to go into business and not together (wise choice!) but isn’t there enough products out there that you could pick different items?

you and your friend are direct competitors ? how does that work ? he gets the sales and the money and you don’t ?!
sorry to sound blunt but its not a good selling model and amazon may also see it as sales manipulation

I hope very much that there is no link between you and your friends accounts. You are virtually guaranteed to have your accounts suspended, if you are indeed such.
Why on earth would you be competing directly with a friend anyway?

Sounds like a good way to lose friends. It’s worth noting that just because you see your friend has the buybox doesn’t mean they have it for all postcodes in the UK - different buyers may see a different winner. Other than that, there are lots of metrics that Amazon uses that means just because you have the same selling plan as your friends doesn’t mean you have the same chance of winning the buybox.

Could well just be luck of the draw. If your ‘friend’ made some sales initially then they may now qualify for the buy box. Buy box qualification is based on many factors, not just price. Sales history, feedback etc. all play a part in determining.

You are competing against an FBA seller which puts you at a disadvantage. You also have no feedback and perhaps no sales which also doesn’t help - Amazon won’t award the buybox until you have a sales history unless you use FBA.

I can just imagine the conversation if I met one of my friends at my local warehouse…it would not be pretty

I would be worried about Amazon forming a “link” and suspending both accounts.
