Why was my listing deactivated for "potential pricing error" and other listings weren't?
I listed a book, Sea of Cortez by John Steinbeck, ASIN/ISBN 0911858083. The current price range is from $99 in Good condition to $200 in Very Good condition. My copy is in Very Good condition. I priced it accordingly but less than the two highest priced books. I received a "Listing deactivated due to potential pricing error" email. I tried lowering my price to just above the lower priced books in Good condition. I received another "Listing deactivated" notice. Why can other sellers list at a higher price but I can't? This has happened many times. It's very frustrating and inexplicable.

Do you have min/max prices set? If not, try putting some in since it has worked for me in the past -- not always, but often enough.
Amazon is a dumpster fire.
