Is this Fair?
Dear Sellers,
I found out an problem about the ASIN's Rank issue;
For Example, To this Brand " ANKER", Link is here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088NVYZ66/ref=twister_B0DFVZVQB6
I found out that, Among the TOP 100 ASINs, there are TOP 20 ASINs belong to the Brand "ANKER",
Is this fair???
If so, Amazon will change to ANKER -zon???

Well, ANKER is a pretty big name in the category (maybe the biggest?). And that one that you linked to sells about 1000/month, so not surprising if that earns it a high rank, especially in a category so saturated with other offers.

You do realize that Anker is an industry leader in their category, not some small seller, right? No, not bigger than Amazon, but big in their category.
I don't think that they need to resort to fake reviews; I suspect people buying their products are going more on reviews in places like dedicated computer zines.

There is another Eamples: For example to Earphone category:
https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Earbud-In-Ear-Headphones/zgbs/electronics/12097478011/ref=zg_bs_pg_2_electronics?_encoding=UTF8&pg=2
Among the TOP 100 ASINs:
Apple HOLD TOP 10 ASINs:
Soundcore bleong to ANKER hold 8 ASINs;
Samsung HOLD 2 Positinos;
SONY HOLD 2 Positions;
Beats Hold 3 Positions;
Panasonic hold 1 Position;
I never believe in Soundcore quality is better than Samsung or SONY or Beats;
I trust Apple, Beats, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic NEVER buy any fake Reviews or Orders;
But other sellers, I have 99.99% confidence , they MUST buy fake Reviews and orders. If so, I think, is unfair to sellers who never buy any fake Reviews and orders.

Nope, I don't work for ANKER, although I do have one of their products.
But I'll ask again, if you don't base "Top Seller" on how much the sales are, what do you base it on? Of COURSE a small seller just starting out is not going to have the sales volume of a name like ANKER or DELL, but do you think it would be fair (to other sellers or to customers) to decide that some small seller selling a dozen/month should be awarded "Top 100" over the major company already selling 1000s? Why?
Remember, Amazon is focused on pleasing the CUSTOMER.
But you are the one making the unfounded accusation. Doesn't reflect well on you that you keep dwelling on it.

Hello @Seller_LmVi4jw3KN7eX,
Thank you for utilizing the forums and sharing your sentiment about Rankings and Top listings.
Not sure if fair or unfair is the right approach here. I would focus on volume of sales as the deciding factor for rankings among categories.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Thanks,
Joey
