Pricing against Amazon offers with new shipping structure

Are there plans to show us competing offers' TOTALS (price plus shipping) on the Single List Page? The numbers shown from Amazon now are nearly meaningless because of Amazon's new shipping structure. We need to see the TOTALS (item price plus the competitor's shipping rate) and how much we can expect our own shipping cost to be. We cannot be doing the math while listing individual items.

We'd like to hear back from an AOB representative and are fairly certain other sellers would also like to get a response on this issue.

  This actually already exists. Go to Settings > Market Data Settings. Near the top of that page, look for the heading "Pricing Data." The last line of that section reads, "Display prices As  O Price Only   O Price Including Shipping."
  
  Select the second one and save.
  
  When you're on the single list page, if you hover over a price it will show how the price breaks out for that listing - Item price and shipping price. If you click on a price to fill your own price field, if the total price shown includes shipping, only the product price portion will populate in your price field - essentially backing the shipping price out. If the competitor's listing offers free shipping, the entire price will populate in your price field.

  Thank you, Rhonda! I've updated my settings and will see how Single Listing feels today.

  I really appreciate your input!

  No problem! I have to say, with all these changes it is certainly slowing listing down for me, and since I do both Merchant-fulfilled and FBA I'm doing a lot of mental gymnastics trying to get my pricing right. I'm finding even with the change in settings I'm often clicking on the Amazon link to see the listings there.

  Good luck!
