Amazon developed a mechanism that prevents their sellers from incorrectly pricing their products due to price feeds containing a price outside of their minimum and maximum defined price range.
In instances where the seller neglects to supply his own price ranges, Amazon will automatically populate the price ranges based on historical prices from sales of similar items. If none are available, Amazon may deactivate the listings until you update them with relevant price ranges (you can locate such items under your Inventory tab on Seller Central).
To allow optimal repricing ranges for the algorithm, you’ll need to manually set a minimum and maximum price on your Seller Central dashboard. To accommodate these new policies, we recommend using a wider price range than the one you have set up in your Feedvisor account. (Don’t worry, it won’t interfere with the floor and ceiling prices you set within Feedvisor).
You can update your price ranges in either of two ways:
- In bulk, using the Amazon Price and Quantity File.
- Go to the Manage Inventory tab and adjust prices for each item listed - from what we can gather on Seller Central support, you need to go to the "old" (not beta) Manage Inventory page. Then you will need to change your preferences to display your minimum and maximum prices. Let us know if this helped (as this change is on the Amazon site, we are trying our best to gather information regarding this change).
- We recommend updating the Min/Max prices on seller central to be half&double the floor/ceiling on Feedvisor, this will prevent future deactivations from Amazon due to pricing error.
For example, an item that has a $5 floor and $8 ceiling on Feedvisor should be set to Min $2.5 and $16 Max on seller central as a precaution.
