Amazons fair pricing policy
Come on Amazon what is it all about. I have books for sale that aren’t available, yet I can’t list them. You state available from (whatever date 6 months or so away) which keeps moving week by week and in reality it’s never available. Then this is acceptable, I’m sorry but it doesn’t make sense

As a fellow book/media seller, I have this all the time ! Listings deactivated for 'potential high pricing' yet there are other sellers with their listings still active priced FAR more, poorer condition, and as you say, will NEVER be available. Not sure if this happens so much with other categories ?, but it is so frustrating. I usually sell elsewhere (Ebay !)

I'm afraid this is yet another quite disgraceful Amazon policy. I have raised the issue here several times and there have been many other threads.
One of the "tactics" Amazon uses to stop us selling books ( I'm certain its the same for vinyl and other media) is to invoke the comparison prices.. One of those comparison prices is what Amazon itself is selling the book for. There are countless examples of Amazon "selling" an old book , say from the 1980s. They advertise it in "NEW" condition and use the original selling price , say £2.00.. Sellers like me cannot possibly compete with this. What makes it worse is that the Amazon book will be "available in 6 months time" - which means that they do not have it in stock. They will ,of course, NEVER have it in stock.
I have tried reporting this but I'm afraid , as usual, Seller support have no clue.
