"Match Competetive External Price"
Getting so many listings removed due to not being 'competitive compared to external prices'.
How can we be competitive compared to other online outlets / shops when:
1. Amazon fees are one of (if not the most) expensive selling fees going
2. Funds get held onto so makes turning over stock quickly with low profit margins impossible as we will run out of cash flow
3. Lose money on granted A to Z claims that always side with the buyer
The list goes on. This is bizarre and cant see how it can carry on. Even on the home screen now its 'match competitive external price'. I get Amazon want everyone to think they are the cheapest and place to go, but they could at least help us in some way instead of killing us :(

It is not possible especially if you sell using FBA
The competitive matches don't take account of other factors either. For example the site they are using to match on may not offer free delivery and you may offer it.
But as you say Amazon want to be the cheapest and if you can't match it then you have your featured offer removed.
