But that's the price you pay for self-publishing.
One of the big costs of publishing, as I'm sure you understand, is paying human beings to perform tasks. Consumers want ebooks at rock-bottom prices; Amazon, in order to provide ebooks at rock-bottom prices, has to automate processes that are easily automated, such as price comparisons. (Not that humans would do much better.)
Similarly, Amazon doesn't have much impetus to hire hundreds of "self-publishing ombudsmen" to deal with these kinds of issues.
Caveat emptor.
