Price below minimum threshold

Error 73 fires when the listing price is below eBay's minimum (typically $0.99 USD or 1.00 EUR/GBP). The listing is rejected until the price is raised.

Most often this is a transformation bug: a feed accidentally exports cost-of-goods or a $0 placeholder, a sale price is calculated as a percentage of an empty list price, or rounding produces a sub-penny value. eBay won't let any listing go live below the per-site floor.

1. Filter the feed for any product priced below $0.99 (or local equivalent).
2. Trace the bad values back to the source - check for null list prices in markdown calculations.
3. Add a pre-export validation that fails the row if price is below the floor.
4. Use proper rounding (banker's rounding or floor) not arithmetic that can produce $0.005.
5. Resubmit and confirm error 73 clears.

• Letting clearance items hit $0.01 due to bad markdown logic
• Submitting $0 placeholder prices for 'call for quote' products
