Why This Happens

TikTok Shop flagged your store for pricing manipulation — inflated 'original' prices to fake discounts, drip pricing via abusive shipping fees, price gouging on trending items, or bait pricing where checkout price differs from the displayed one. These flags come from automated price-history analysis. Recovery means correcting the pricing structure store-wide and appealing with evidence of legitimate pricing.
