What this notice means

Amazon may remove offers, suspend selling privileges or deactivate accounts when it finds pricing that harms customer trust. Examples include a price significantly higher than recent prices on or off Amazon, shipping fees that are too high for the item, or selling multiple units at a higher price per unit than a single unit. During emergencies, price increases on essential items attract extra scrutiny.

Pricing tools often cause these problems. An automated repricer can raise prices sharply when competitors run out of stock. A good appeal shows what happened to each listing, the real costs involved, and the limits now placed on automated pricing.

Common causes

  • Automated repricing rules without a maximum price
  • Price rises on essential goods during shortages or emergencies
  • Shipping charges set far above the real cost of delivery
  • Multi-packs priced higher per unit than single units
  • Listing prices far above the item's recent selling price

Evidence that carries weight

  • Price history for each affected listing
  • Supplier invoices showing cost changes, where costs did rise
  • Repricer settings before and after the change
  • Shipping rate cards supporting the delivery charges
  • A written pricing review procedure

  3. Correct and capPrices are corrected and repricer limits are set before the appeal is submitted.
  4. Prepare the appealA factual explanation with supporting cost records and the controls now in place.

Mistakes that weaken the appeal

FAQs

What does Amazon mean by fair pricing?

Amazon's Fair Pricing Policy describes pricing practices it considers harmful to customer trust, such as prices far above recent prices or excessive shipping charges. The notice usually names the listings concerned.

Can I explain that my supplier raised prices?

Yes, if you can show it. Supplier invoices with dates and quantities support the explanation. Without records, the claim carries little weight.

Will my listings come back after the appeal?

If the appeal is accepted, listings may be restored, but some need to be reactivated or corrected individually. Check each ASIN after a decision.

Can a repricer get my account deactivated?

It can contribute. Amazon holds the seller responsible for prices set by tools. Setting maximum prices and reviewing alerts are part of a credible Plan of Action.

Are you affiliated with Amazon?

No. We are an independent case preparation service with no special access to Amazon and no internal contacts. Every submission goes through the official route Amazon provides, from your own account.

Can you guarantee reinstatement?

No one can honestly guarantee an Amazon decision. We control the quality of the diagnosis, the evidence and the written response, and we tell you at the free review stage if we think the case is weak.
