Just wonder if anyone cares to offer an opinion on two points.
Firstly I keep getting " Listings de-activated due to potential high pricing error" this seems to come & go in waves, no take downs for a couple of weeks, then several in a week. Just had one now with close on a 100 removed. But it makes no sense because whilst I accept that anyone can make a tpoy sorry typo once in a while there is no way that I would be making as many as Amazon suggest.
I sell books & there might be one that retails for say £19.99 & they say I had it on for say £158.50 for example. There is far too many to be my errors. Also sometime ago I tried relisting these take downs & could not find them anywhere.
Lastly I see some book dealers selling books at a much higher price than me, granted I can't see how long they have had the listings up.
Also has anyone noticed that Amazon have now added a section at the foot of listings, for example I am selling a new book & they have added a check box in the listing that says "Buy used cheaper" giving the potential buyer the opportunity to steer away from my listing even when they're looking at it, if things were not bad enough!
Thoughts please

I too am a book seller and frequently get deactivations for 'potential' high pricing, and as you say, there are often others with a higher price that are still active - so WRONG. I sell elsewhere !
I don't sell new books, so know nothing about that side of things, except that big companies can negotiate big discounts. As for used books, the 'potential price' algorithm is blunt & very badly programmed, not matching like with like, or against a 30-year old price. I just let the book sell on Abe, Alibris etc. & let them have the fees. As for the likes of M****a & co - who knows how many of their mythical books have been removed for "price error"? And who knows what triggers the 'price error' bot?
Hello @Seller_GPLxAbyNPI33I,
This is Sakura from Amazon. Could you provide one example of the ASIN? Did you check what the price of other offers is for this listing?
