I’m at my wit’s end.

I’ve sold this branded item for years, Brand Registry, no hijackers, no issues.

Then out of nowhere:

Amazon slaps a competitive external price on my ASIN.

It’s so low I lose money on every single unit.

Price above that? No Buy Box.

I found the problem: some seller on Walmart scraped my entire listing — same images, title, bullets.

They priced exactly at Amazon’s “competitive” price.

I filed a DMCA, Walmart took it down.

That was a week ago.

The Walmart listing is GONE.

But Amazon’s fake external price is still there.

I’ve opened so many cases I lost count.

Every reply:

  • “Lower your price”

  • “Wait 4 hours for the system to update”

I wait. Nothing changes.

Ever.

I tried flat-file delete — won’t work for me.

I have 2 old closed accounts with the same SKU, so Amazon still sees it in their system.

Has anyone actually permanently removed this external price match?

I can’t sell at a loss. What actually works?

Update: FIXED — I posted the solution in the comments.
