There’s quite a few. You have some advanced MB bots that undercut items by 1 Gil every few minutes and automatically remake and relist anything that sells. Which gives normal players either a few minutes window or you have to sell at under the price the bot will cut down to, which is usually not worth it.

Another thing they’ll do is set a price which is on the low side to begin with, list at this price and remake and relist once sold. For example all of the Tsuku glamours are sold on my server for 1.6 million. Which is profitable for this bot selling every single one, but I could only sell it for 1.59 million which is the same as the mat to make it.

Gathering bots tend to keep the prices stable. If not for them you’d occasionally make some great sales, but they tend to ensure there is always supply and they’re willing to undercut you.

Generally the bots control the market. But SE doesn’t care. The worst one on our server has been reported multiple times by multiple people and they just ignore it.
