Is anyone actually surprised by this type of scam on their part? Reports of prices being increased in the days/weeks before any of their 'special sales' have been around for years.

Probably pay a fine, a million, two, nothing really, considered the price of their stock or monies made by the corporation yearly!!
Sigh! Nothing as @Seller_lCX40xAkSs1xm states, will change, not even a board member or a VP in charge of an ambigous number of auctions...he'll probably get promoted to Sr. VP.
AMZ-see this as a vent/feedback!
Not only your advertising auctions but the majority of your systems, especially suppressing sales and the Buy Box which still, after much tinkering, still favors MEGAS, are unfair to hard-working smaller sellers who have stuck w/ the platform for years. As in all siloed bureaucracies, inequities developed a life of their own.
