Do sellers already in MP get higher placement?

[iamonourside]

Do sellers already in MP receive higher "best match" search order over those not yet in MP a priori (all other things being equal)?

Based on my year and a half in MP, I say no, no special treatment.

NO.

There is no boost in the search returns for being in MP.

I only search using LOWEST PRICE WITH SHIPPING

and never look at BEST  MATCH items
