How to appeal Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing on Amazon
Appeal for fair pricing policy violations where Amazon flags a listing for pricing significantly higher than recent prices or competitor offerings.
Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing sits under Product/Listing Appeals, a family of issues Amazon reviews when evaluating seller performance, catalog integrity, and buyer experience. When Seller Performance or another Amazon team flags this issue, they look for evidence that you understand what triggered the notice, what you changed operationally, and how you will prevent a repeat.
Amazon typically expects a clear corrective response before the issue escalates to broader listing or account-level enforcement. Severity here is drawn from AppealsPro category metadata for Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing, not from a promised reinstatement outcome.
Common issues sellers hit on Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing appeals include incomplete documentation, mismatched ASINs or order IDs, and Plans of Action that skip a verifiable root cause. Required documents come from the notice itself: invoices, tracking, supplier letters, process screenshots, or metric exports that match the ASINs and dates Amazon cited.
Use the guides on this page before you open or update a case in Seller Central. Many sellers in this category see initial responses within about 5 business days when documentation is complete on the first submission. If you are unsure which sub-issue applies, paste the notice into the free analyzer to map it to the closest appeal category before you commit to a single template.
After you submit, keep a dated record of what you sent and monitor Account Health for follow-up questions. A second request from Amazon is not a new case type; it is usually a request for missing evidence tied to the same Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing notice.

Common questions
- What is a Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing notice on Amazon?
- Appeal for fair pricing policy violations where Amazon flags a listing for pricing significantly higher than recent prices or competitor offerings. Amazon uses this category when enforcement teams need sellers to explain compliance, performance, or catalog behavior tied to this issue type, not as a generic account warning.
- What should I include in my first appeal response?
- Lead with a concise summary of what happened, then separate root cause, actions already taken, and preventive controls. Attach only documents that match the ASINs or orders referenced in your notification. Incomplete or unrelated files are a common reason appeals stall.
- Can I keep selling while this issue is open?
- It depends on the exact enforcement action in your notice. Some violations restrict individual ASINs, others affect whole categories or the entire account. Read the performance notification carefully and check Account Health for active listing or disbursement holds before assuming you can ship as usual.
- How are Pricing Policy Violation / Fair Pricing appeals typically reviewed?
- Many sellers in this category see initial responses within about 5 business days when documentation is complete on the first submission. Amazon reviewers compare your narrative to the violation cited in the notice; vague POAs that do not reference your specific SKUs, suppliers, or metrics are often rejected for more detail rather than reinstatement.
