The answer

Merely offering a product at a lower price does not fall under the prohibited act of "a brother selling over his brother's sale," because an offer is not a sale. Forums where products are displayed for sale are subject to the same rulings as a marketplace. Merchants display their goods at varying prices, and there is no religious impediment to this; it is considered commercial competition.
