Moving Llistings to Amazon Prime fulfilled by seller
I have some listings on Amazon and I'm thinking of going Prime. Once my existing listing become Prime listings does that mean my existing customers who may not be Prime can no longer buy them ? I don't have Prime, just normal listings at the moment and have regular customers who repeat buy on a regular basis, if they are not Prime subscribers will they no longer be able to buy my products ?

The answer you are looking for is here.
Essentially - free standard shipping is available for non Prime customers on an SFP listing

None Prime members will still be able to buy your items - but they may end up paying more.
You can send non Prime customers their order on a 3-4 day standard service (free shipping) but must offer free one day delivery for Prime customers using a fully tracked service. Therefore you will probably need to add in a small premium to the advertised price to cater for those Prime orders you have to send using a one day tracked service.
As the advertised price will be the same to both non-Prime and Prime customers, this will mean non-Prime customers will also be paying the additional premium.
You could consider keeping your existing prices allowing for standard 3-4 days delivery and adding a premium delivery option for those who want to pay for one day delivery and not using SFP. This will mean your non-Prime customers will not be hit with a price increase but anyone wanting faster delivery can pay a bit extra.
It all depends on whether or not you think you get extra orders by doing SFP - if not then just add premium delivery prices to the existing shipping template.

The only difference your regular customers may find is the shipping price could change slightly as Amazon set the shipping price because they are the ones who are delivering.
As long as you are confident your goods will sell at a reasonable speed then FBA is a no brainer, go for it.
Just be sure to watch their videos on how to ship your stock into Amazon because they will ship it straight back if it does not meet their requirement. Such as what you use for packaging padding, you can't just throw any old bit of polystyrene and junk in there, best to use crumpled brown paper.

The OPs question was about SFP not FBA. SFP items are sent by seller not Amazon and the price is set by seller.
