Fed up of sellers selling cheap products and excessive delivery charges
Hello.
I come across this every now and again on Amazon, the key to get the buy box it seems is to charge a very low price (sometimes just a few pence) than charge excessive delivery charges. I think the aim of the game here is to see how many people do not check the postage costs and dispatch quickly so the customer is not allowed to cancel.
An example is this seller:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?me=AWNEDRJ2V8NK4&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P
£25 delivery.
Seems like a joke of a system for this to be allowed.

Hi Loopsandpluto,
And note that this Seller has multiple 5* feedbacks from the same 'customer' on the same date - time and time again which lifts them to 91% feedback
MODERATORS need to look at this Seller who appears to be abusing the system!! @Ezra_Amazon @Julia_Amzn @Simon_Amazon@Winston_Amazon
All Best

What was the ASIN?
Link showing to many options.
If an item is shipped from China then it could cost £25 of course.
The Amazon system does compare Sellers total costs, so if Seller A has at £1 + £25 delivery and Seller B has at £25.50 including delivery, then Seller B will be shown as cheaper, and often win the Buy Box.
If only 1 Seller, then maybe an issue.
I note others have said fake feedbacks and reviews, etc, I'd be more concerned about that.
I find it very annoying that many on FBA can get feedback struck through, when the same feedback for SFP and Merchant Fulfilled remains. Eg Sellers regularly selling used as new, get away with it, how!
