Hi. Reviews are for things that don't change like the content of a book or how a product works or doesn't work.
Seller feedback is for prices and how the seller reacted.

As to your price complaint, I kind of sympathize with you.
I don't think unfair is the correct word in this case. I think the word I would use is way overpriced compared to others in the same category.

Leads me to ask who is it being unfair too. Is it unfair to the author who gets a bigger royalty? Unfair to the publisher? Unfair to those that would pay that price and not bat an eye? Unfair to those that don't want to spend that much on that particular book?

If I wanted to file a complaint I would ask if they accidentally set the wrong price because the rest of the books are much cheaper and provide links to the other books.

I would not use the word unfair. I will tell you the why. "It's not fair. I can't use the saw but my little brother can." "It's not fair, Henry gets it for half the price I pay, just because he lives in a lower cost of living area than I do." Note: both of those sound like whining. Therefore, if I was a seller or even someone looking at the feedback and saw unfair, I would think oh another Cinisajoy that wants books at a super cheap price. I probably would not finish reading the feedback.

Yes, I have been known to put back used (and new) books because for my budget they were way overpriced. Note: The last time I did that on used books, the prices ranged from $1 to $3. I thought maybe they were discounted. I did buy several other books.

The way I look at it on prices is "Is that price worth it to me or do I want to find something else?"
Only a couple of exceptions to that rule and one of the items I stock up on when it goes on sale. The other I am hoping body decides soon it doesn't need them anymore. (Never goes on sale.)
