Once again proof...
That those who engage in business should carry liability insurance. It's pretty simple. Amazon provides a marketplace, retailers sell in the marketplace, and Repricer Express (apparently) sells a service for marketplace resellers to use that (presumably) prices items from a retailer in a way that is congruent with the other resellers in the marketplace.
So... the simple reality is that as a consumer you are walking into a marketplace with posted prices. You find a price you like, you order the product, and it gets shipped. Whether it was priced at 1p or 1,000,000p is inconsequential for the consumer. If it gets caught along the way, then you deal with the PR hit that comes with a faulty system and canceling orders. If the consumer gets the product, one of those parties that make up the marketplace is screwed. Ideally, it's whoever caused the issue, be it a mistake by Amazon, Repricer Express, or the reseller.
Like it or not, this is why lawyers and insurance companies exist. If Repricer Express messed up but didn't have insurance or has contractual language that attempts to absolve them of liability, then godspeed to the retailers. This is how things are supposed to work.
