Default MC113 for below market value prices?

I just got hit with an MC113 on my legit account because I was selling a product that was priced below market value. Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Have they actually stated that that was the reason for the MC113?

They can give it for selling above market as well. Or selling at market value, but they suppose it is a cake. Or whatever. They just don't like what you are selling. Reason in the letter can be one, and the real reason can be totally different.

Yes. I called them. They also said it's a new account (it's well over 1 month old, and has 1 feedback), but the reason given for the MC113 is because of the price.

Price too low + new account = scam

Not saying your a scammer but that is the tekniq scammers us. I saw a $800 ssd selling for $35. I could believe so I bought it, the transaction was blocked and the seller was suspended. I decided to take the chance because I have triple protection (eBay money back guarantee, PayPal buyer protection and American express protection).

I have hard of this happening, like when someone selling new release DVD's list their item for $10 and it is $19 on Amazon and $17 at Walmart. eBay wonders how it is that a small seller can get better prices on legitimate merchandise than the big guys. They figure the merchandise is either counterfeit or stolen.

That's why it's so easy to scam on ebay, because people even if they think it's a scam don't need to take responsibilty to do any due diligence, knowing ebay / paypal / credit card have their backs if it doesn't arrive.

Not to that degree... If that were the case, then people would be buying things from each other instead of the big box stores. Someone on your block would specialize in apparel, another in electronics, another in media, another in canned goods, etc.

Well, you still have to know how to do it, and you still need the capital and the connections to source the products.

How can I sell parts much cheaper than others? Low overhead, good connections, and lack of employees.

That is true but you can not meet the markets demand that way. Your supply will not be able to meet the demands on the market. Therefore, your competition will only be mild. Those who meet the demands don't sell out quick (go out of stock).

I remember a competitor years ago on Amazon who would advertise their product $20-30 dollars less. We had the buy box until he came. The more I competed with him the longer he stayed. So I raised my price and within 24 he was gone because he sold out quickly. He didn't come back for 2 weeks. People like quick money, and low overheads (easy). If you like low overheads you don't like growth and stability. Of course, for starters low overheads are good but if it stay low then their is no growth if the business operation is solely on selling tangible items.

In addition, extra overheads are added to improve and add quality to services like customer support which is added on to price tag of item.
