They are may be trying to lure a customer who will pay for all the losses he had selling other products on amazon due to its strange fee and charges to deliver.

Well MRP does matter always but practically you can’t sell on amazon at MRP due to fee and shipping.

First of all selling above MRP is illegal.
Secondly i can answer why sellers selling price on amazon has gone up. It is because

  1. Amazon has become sponsored ads maniac. If u do ad with bid more than 3 rupees then only your product would be shown in search results. Organic search results is dead on amazon. This forces seller to increase its selling price based on money spent on ads in a given month.
