Featured offer dissappears on price increase
Hi I selling ASIN B0CKLNSSPP. I am the owner of the brand. Have been selling for approx 10 days now and in that time we have sold 18 units with no returns. We started of low and and now slowly increasing the price. As soo as I go above £112 the buy featured offer goes off. Even if I increase it £112.01. There are no other sellers selling the product under my brand. There is another seller selling the same product but under his/her brand for £139.00 and they have the featured offer a available. I've checked on the Internet and only I sell the product on ebay and my own site for £140. What I don't understand is why is it disappearing when I just increase to a penny. Spoken to amazon and as usual not much help. I've read all the usual help pages and can't see anything that might effect me. Hope any experts can shed any light. Many thanks in advance

I cant give you a definitive answer, but I believe Amazon have guards in place to stop sellers from "overcharging" (even if you aren't overcharging). This may have come from Covid when sellers inflated prices of in-demand products like PPE.
I assume it is all automated and will simply detect a price increase, compare it to what you have been selling it for on average, and then decide you are overcharging.
The only things I can think of trying is leaving it just below the threshold for a while until more sales come through at that price, raising your average. Or set the RRP in your offer to £139 (what you sell for on ebay), and/or maybe set your offer price at the RRP also with a lower price in the "Sale Price" box and set it to run for a week or two.
