Blackhole pricing

Amazon’s fee structure creates price points where a small increase in list price actually costs you more in fees than it earns. A one-cent increase from $9.99 to $10.00, for example, can wipe out $0.76 in profit. These are called black hole prices.

SmartRepricer now detects when your min or max price lands in one of these zones. Instead of getting stuck at a black hole price, the new Escape Price system moves your listing to the nearest safe price within your set limits—preserving your margin without any manual adjustment needed. No changes required on your end; this runs automatically.
