Reseller is getting better results than me... why?

Factors such as price (not necessarily cheapest), availability, selection, and sales history help determine where your product appears in search results in these types of marketplaces (Amazon, Sears etc...)

In general, better-selling products tend to be towards the beginning of the results list so if the re-seller has had more sales, possibly by paying for traffic/ads then he will appear higher. As your sales of a product increase, so does your placement.

Also when I say more sales I do not necessarily.y mean moving more units but rather his listings may have a higher conversion rate due to him paying to bring buyer traffic to his listings.

I can only make a guess here. But mostly likely the reseller is bringing high
quality traffic to the site and the Sears page algorithm is rewarding him for
those sales by listing his item higher than yours. Plus, Sears makes a
higher commission when they buy at a higher price.

Its all about the marketing. He can sell the same products and he can sell them for higher prices but as long as he drives more interested traffic it will result in him gaining more sales.

Yes better marketing by him and something else too...

More experience.

In Robert Cialdini's book "Influence" he shows that people are poor judges of value. Most people judge how valuable something is based on the price. So by pricing his items higher, your reseller is making is seem like his products are more valuable and higher quality and most likely be more durable which justifies the higher cost. In reality, the product may not be all that valuable, but most people can't judge that so they base it on price. Plus it seems like he's marketing better and targeting people that are willing to pay higher or he may even be cold calling. Is he offering any bonus on his sales page that you can't find anywhere else?

I think it works as SEO's result. He may increased this keywords rank by some work as SEO, Forum posting, Article submission, Relevant blog commenting & So on. Thanks

Hey, don't get offended. I am just trying to figure out how his listings are appearing above my listings. I know amazon shows products on top with good reviews and ratings, at the same time my new products also appear in search in good position and i am getting sales and ratings in return.

If he is reselling my products on his own site with better SEO techniques and efforts than me, it make sense but here we are not discussing Google or Bing rankings. We are discussing "Sears" Marketplace. This person has just copy pasted round about 50 of my products and selling at sears at much higher price than me. Actually, 7 others are doing the same thing.

I placed an order for one of my product with one of this reseller having listings above my listings and received an order at amazon.com with shipping address to my home. LOL. I got an order which i have to pack and ship to my home. I tracked history of this customer and found just 3 orders in last 3 months. Now, if you say that he has good conversion rate than me where his products(actually mine) are pricey than my products and I am being manufacturer selling my products at very competitive rates does not know how to sell and my cheaper products are at 4th page because my products does not have good conversions, I am going to bang my head in the wall. My conversion rate is much much higher than one order per month.

DABK Suppose you need new car and you go out to buy new car. In "Car Market" there are 2 shops. One is by Ford selling Mustang at regular price and second shop is from Bugatti but they are also selling Mustang at 2 times higher price than the regular market price. From where you will buy new Mustang? From Bugatti store? I am getting nuts here...

This is simple ,they are working their butt off and you are not ,

Just keep an eye on your rituals as tony robbins say ,and you will know the answers

Well, you did not read my message above. He just sold 3 items in 3 months and i am selling many many in a month. My problem is that sears showing high priced reseller products above my products, which is distracting customers from my products and they are buying from other competitors and these reseller are not getting any business but they are ruining my business.

Please share a product link which amazon is selling for different prices. I would like to see a live example for it.

Read what a logical answer this is. I am sure this person does not know what is sears and what is a marketplace but he is posting here just to increase his post count.

Yes. I know but according to you and "Peter Lessard" it does not make any difference.

He knows what to do

That dude might be doing better marketing than you. Like you, he's just a MARKETER. You should adopt the same mindset, or exit the niche altogether. Go and sell things that will make you a clear winner with no doubt.
