You need to put the price that you can afford to sell it at
Make sure you include cost, postage, fees and don’t forget the vat on fees and any other overheads too
Others may be selling for less as they have good rates with their suppliers etc
Hopefully you’ve not bought stock from other retailers so in time, you too can agree better prices from your supplier

They are obviously factoring in the sheer amount of your goods and money scamazon gives away. That’s a high cost to build in. It doesn’t happen on other sites anywhere close to the level it does here.

We have been trading for over 80 years, we do not like “fly by night RA sellers” coming along undercutting hard working sellers just so they can make a quick buck, its unfair (use ebay). We are pleased to hear that Amazon is getting to grips with banning these individuals and protecting legit small businesses.

Sometimes it is worth waiting to see what happens with your competitors. They might be cheaper but do they have unlimited stock? If they sell out and you are now the cheapest then you might be able to get your desired price. Unlikely of course if there are a lot of sellers of a widely available item.
