Troubleshooting Match at Lowest Price

Match Lowest takes into account all active listings on Amazon, including products sold by Amazon. However, it may not be available for some listings if one of the following occurs:

• The shipping amount is equal to or greater than the lowest price.
• For example, you list a product for $ 1.00 plus $ 3.00 shipping costs. Seller B is listing the same product for 50 cents plus $ 2.50 shipping. The shipping amount alone ($ 3.00) equals Seller B’s total cost ($ 3.00).
• Therefore, it is not possible to match the lowest price without first reducing the shipping cost.
• The listing has an active sale.
• Match Lowest Price ignores bids with active sale prices.
• Remove the sale price or use the Match Lowest Price tool after the sale is complete.
• The listing has no shipping amount set.
• This case can occur if the listing is inactive.
• It is not the same as setting prices so that they do not show shipping costs.
• Shipping settings can also affect Match Lowest Price.
• If you have configured your shipping options based on stripe pricing, shipping amounts will not be seeing, and Match Lowest will only create the product price.
• If you’ve set your preferences not to show the shipping rate, the Amazon Price Match Lowest Price option will only be originating on the product’s price.

How the Match Lowest Price Tool Works?

This example shows how the Match Lowest Price works.

You have a listing of a product whose status is Second hand – Like new. The self-managed listing price is $ 26.00 + $ 5.50 shipping costs (Listing 2 in the table below).

Your customer feedback ratio is 93%, and your preparation time is 48 hours. There are three other listings for the same product on Amazon. Based on the table below, the current lowest price will be selected as follows:

Listing 1 ($ 29.00) – Shows whether Lowest Price Comparison preferences are setting to compare offers across states, fulfillment methods, valuation ratios, and lead times.

Listing 3 ($ 29.50) – Shows whether the Minimum Price Comparison preferences are setting to compare offers in the same state, all fulfillment methods, valuation ratios, and similar lead times.

And also, Listing 4 ($ 30.00): Shows if the Minimum Price Comparison preferences are adjusted to compare offers in the same substate and the same logistics management method, with the same or higher valuation ratios and the exact preparation times faster.
