Amazon has a repricing feature called “Automate Pricing”. As the name implies, it’s a feature that lets you update the price of a given SKU, or update prices across your entire catalog to help you stay ahead of your competition. The system is set to update your listing price whenever there’s an event like a new buy box price, or when there’s a price change by another seller, depending on your repricing rules.
