Not a perfect analogy. There are rules in this old country that are not displeasure toward you but rather rules that apply to everyone. In this county once you advertise something to the public there is no taking it back. You went along and listed that you have a couch to giveaway and instead or writing couch you wrote house (now this county also has safety nets in place, (on FBA called MIN/MAX price) and before you post your ad you can make sure that if something gets listed incorrectly it shouldnt post.

Now, in no way am i saying that this doesn't sting and hurt and its a mistake that can take a lifetime to recover from. But to make it sound like Amazon target him is not the full picture.

Back to the ethics part, from my few years on here, 99% on price mistakes are sold by the Poritz  themselves and they do hold the power to cancel the order. 3rd party seller mistakes are far and few in between on Amazon and on peoples own websites they have full control and do cancel orders all the time.

Take Revel as an example i think they handled it well, let the credits stay active for a period of time and acquire the customers. (uber/Uber eats has given me way more the $400 over the last few years

Agree with the above. Most extreme low prices are usually promos, 3p scammers, or sold by Amazon itself. And definitely would not want to take advantage of 3rd party price mistakes, buying out and returning is a much better accomplishment.

I wonder what @CountValentine thinks of this.

I know Amazon offers this for Black Owned businesses here: https://amzn.to/3VkxvwK

I never understood how people who are against racism push labels for black owned businesses.

Let’s not delude ourselves. Often there is someone shedding copious tears as we grab the “Hurry! Huge price mistake” bargain. Yes, occasionally it is some mega corporation or airline that actually wants to honor the mistake. Often it is an entity that can swallow the loss easily (after firing the hardworking guy responsible for the listing that costed them 500k. After all it’s his fault, right?). But all too often on the other side of the “shipped” email is an individual crying his eyes out as he watches his years parnassa go down the drain while there is nothing he can do about it. Something to really think about before we click.

I think the seller posted in the thread that he had a potential way out but he’d lose sales of the item for 6 months and it wasn’t worth it to him.



Keep in mind that in order to lose $150k he had to have that much inventory already stocked at FBA, so this guy was at a high scale. Lastly, the nature of this type of price mistake had to do with posting on a foreign Amazon site (in this case .mx) while the DDF deals are from Amazon.com

He also stated elsewhere in the thread that his business could afford to cover the loss. It’s a massive loss, but his parnadsah didn’t go down the drain.

Keep in mind that creating a recall isn’t instant anyways, so by the time it’s set in place most orders will probably have shipped anyways, and then you can’t sell the product.

There are also a lot of sellers that would probably get onto the Asian owned businesses

Both the comment and response suggest that it could’ve worked here, but you likely have much more experience than me with these things.

You should’ve seen the Amazon seller forums thread on this topic. Fire and fury.
