Amazon Policy on Reference Prices

Reference prices

In many product categories, you have the option of supplying a reference price that we sometimes display as a strikethrough price. These reference prices may be displayed in several places, including the product detail pages and search results for your products, to show savings to our customers.

A reference price may consist of:

1. A Recommended Retail Price (RRP) set by the manufacturer or its authorized resellers for the applicable marketplace. If you have an option to provide an RRP, you must ensure that it remains current. This includes ensuring that substantial sales of the product in question were made recently at RRP in the applicable marketplace.
2. A pre-discounted price when you are offering a temporary discount on your products. Any pre-discounted price used as a reference price must be the lowest price at which you sold your product in the last 30 calendar days.

If you do not have a RRP or a pre-discounted price that meets these criteria, make sure that you only provide one single selling price. If Amazon cannot verify a reference price you provide, we may suppress it.

Amazon Deals

The strikethrough price displayed for your Deal should display the price at which you made substantial sales of the product. If we consider that the Deal discount displayed is misleading, we reserve the right to cancel your Amazon Deal at any time to protect our customers.

Duration of discounts

You discounts must respect any legal minimum and maximum durations. For some of our European Marketplaces this is a maximum of 30 calendar days. Allow intervals in-between discounts to ensure a good customer experience.
