AMAZON LOWERING COMPETITIVE PRICE RECENTLY
Hello,
I purchased tons of 3 products.
Competitive prices were at about $21
All the sudden they are at $16.77, I lose money at this price.
What's going on??? Amazon lowered competitive price on 5 of my Asin's today.
Please advise asap.

It's for sale cheaper on another website.

Amazon is doing that to me also. I'm a good quiet seller, no issues health account is great, but Amazon just keep harassing me for one thing or another. I'm really tired of it. I'm thinking of leaving the site.

Currently happening to me as well, although not as bad as it is to you. Competitive price is normally $11,98 but now it is $8.16. I am not losing money but it is not the price I planned to less this item for and it has hurt my sales.

And the other website probably has lower fees than Amazon, which in turn allows the seller to offer a lower price. Perhaps one day Amazon will catch on...

It is the price police.They have killed my profits. If I have the only new one they want me to price like a used one. Sometimes when I go to fix prices, the amount they allow is less than current listings. And I really love when they have no pricing information, so my listing is dead in the water. And no, this can't be fixed fixed for media by setting high and low.

Predatory Practice, you do the work they reap the benefits. We have gone through this. We have priced at cost and amazon left the by box. I would not recommend what we did. We did not lose but is a chance you take.
Sorry they are pushing but that is what they do.

This issue is becoming increasingly common. I even provided customer support with price comparisons from other platforms, showing much higher prices for the same ASINs. However, Amazon support was unable to understand and resolve the issue. With such high fees, this practice doesn't make sense.

We have about 200 ASIN like that ! Amazon Killed our business. We lost a couple thousand dollars in the past 18 months and no one in Amazon is helping and they are driving all of us to go out of business on purpose I believe . no explanation from anyone . They keep saying we understand but we can't help you lose money ! Soon everyone will leave Amazon and wholesalers are dying and only private labels have a small chance to make it . Even our private label is getting the same issue and amazon doesn't fix it .
I hope they hear us struggling and fix this issue for good . or we are all going out of business . We can't Afford buying and selling lost at Amazon anymore .
Amazon please help your seller that has been selling and been loyal to your platform for years . we can't continue like this anymore
