Another seller is messaging me asking me to increase my price.
Another seller is trying to contact me by buying one item from me on three different accounts and sending several messages from each one. He's asking me to raise my price and after ignoring his first few messages is becoming more hostile. I only have one other seller competing with me on this item so I assume it is that seller. I'm not sure what to do to get this seller to leave me alone.

That would be Price Fixing and it is a Federal Crime.
Go to "get Support" and work through the questions to report a violation.

In addition to @Seller_kIukTwdhvntAp's excellent advice, DO NOT reply to his messages. Mark them No Response Needed and click on Report Message.

I understand, it is frustrating to see some newbie seller with low feedback rating (not saying that is you) that sells a book at $9 when the next seller has it at $75. It simply is an accelerator/catalyst of the race to the bottom. This applies to books anyway.

report the message. Do Not agree to do anything like that!

I agree with seller who is asking from increase the price, because I am also selling item on break even due to competition so seller should think the well being for other seller

You need to find out if this guy is an authorized dealer making test buys. If the other seller can sell at a higher price you might be losing out on sales? If this buyer is a dealer he could get your item kicked off Amazon sales. Ask him if he is a dealer and see where it goes. Might be a way to make more money if not do not change your prices.
My thinking is only a dealer or supplier will buy from 3 platforms and leave messages. Plan B might see if this guy could make you a dealer and get items at a better price.

if possible why would you not want to raise your price to make more profit we are all sellers and should work as a team in a sense and stop low balling each other
Seller_kAZKbEdD6DSi1
i suggest raising the price. (put yourself in the other seller's shoes) eventually you will have more than 1 seller competing and they will undercut your price and a race to the bottom will ensue until nobody is making a profit, i would fight to keep price as high as possible to limit the damage from that eminent disaster
