Can someone explain best match to me

I don't get it at all. Why is someone who is not a business seller, with worse feedback and DSRs listed above me?

Sometimes my items seems quite high up, others not so much. I really don't get best match at all!

too many comps..not enough time!

    It just makes no sense - TRS items seem to generally be quite high up, so hopefully if I get that next month my items will move up.

    I don't understand Best Match but do you have anything at all showing as a problem on your expanded seller dashboard? Disputes, low stars, policy compliance etc.

    No not at all, I'm showing as above standard and everything is fine. My items aren't generally lower, just some things when I search are lower than others that I think they should be above, other times I seem to be higher. I don't understand the system.
