 General -  Price changes not updating - Again!

If you”ve been changing prices in the last couple of hours, check them against what’s showing on the site as this problem is re-occuring now for the third time in as many days.

This really ridiculous now.

Nobody bothered about this? It is affecting others and seems to be getting worse. It appears to be random, affecting some listings but not others. I make my price changes from a saved Excel template uploaded to the site and it is only by checking against those prices to the ones showing on the site that I can see what changes have not been done, this despite the processing report indicating they have been. A random sampling just now reveals half a dozen changes made yesterday that have not updated - Tip of the iceberg it seems.

It’s a serious problem and I’m surprised at the lack of concern. I would recommend you check the price changes you’ve made against what’s showing on the site as you may find they are not updating as you expect.

I had 24 hours without a single sale yesterday which is extremely rare for me and I am convinced it is because of this error.

How big was your sample?

Half a dozen not updated out of half a dozen checked - very serious.

Half a dozen out of 100 - not so serious.

Half a dozen out of 1000 - pfft. I'll live.

"It’s a serious problem and I’m surprised at the lack of concern"

I rarely reprice, just wait for the cheaper ones to sell, which I suspect is the modus operandi of many of the regular contributors to these boards

I have repriced a handful of books in the last year and I think it worked fine.

It may be different for me because I update prices individually by editing through my Open Listings.  I have never had a problem doing it that way.  Except that it is a lot more labour-intensive.

I had only 1 sale yesterday, well below normal.  So it's not just you.

I've just changed one, and it updated within 5 minutes. Have you tried manually doing those which aren't updating?

I've still not had a UK sale since last Friday... with a steady 3-5 a day every day for 6 months before that.

I can't find a good number of my books using Amazon's search engine though bookfinder and viaLibri can locate them - AMazon appears to be in meltdown - let's hope its temporary!
