How Do You Fix A "Pricing Error"?
ASIN B015RQG4H4
Due to increased costs we’ve recently increased the sale price of this item to £101.99. However, Amazon have deactivated the listing stating “Potential high pricing error”. But it isn’t it is the right price and we think a fair price for the product (cost price of the product alone is over £60 inc. VAT before you add shipping and Amazon fees on). There’s no one else currently selling on the listing, Amazon themselves don’t sell the product so they’re not selling at and comparing to a stupidly low price and the only sale on the listing in the last 30 days was by another seller at £193.00.
I’ve tried reactiviating it by just knocking a few pence of but it still get deactivated.
Any ideas please?

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do, Amazon check other websites and platforms to determine “fair pricing” and often don’t take shipping etc into effect.
All you can do is keep reducing it until it stops throwing you errors and work out if its feasible to sell at that price, you might be able to increase it in small increments over time

I get this all the time with books - another one this morning - but my price is correct for what it is, and unfortunately with books they do not take into account the condition and scarcity.
There is not a lot you can do about it, for the reasons given by Dedez above, and knocking a few pence off will probably not make much difference.
For books, we get them as they expect us to be selling them at the price when published in the 50s/60s/70s !!!

Got me recently when I tried to sell some items that were stuck at FBA and not selling, I decided I would just sell them off at cost price, rather than paying for disposal or annoying my friend rerouting recalls to NI. But I wasn’t allowed to sell them at cost price… a whole 50p reduction in price…
