Price discrimination is essentially a kind of price difference, which usually refers to the fact that suppliers of goods or services implement different sales prices or charging standards among recipients when they provide goods or services of the same grade and quality to different recipients. It is an act of price discrimination for an operator to impose different sales prices on several buyers of the same commodity or service without justifiable reasons.

Generally speaking, in a perfectly competitive market, all buyers pay the same price for similar products. If all consumers have enough knowledge, then the price difference between products of each fixed quality unit does not exist. Because any seller who tries to charge more than the current market price will find that no one will buy the product from them. However, price discrimination is very common in the market where the seller is a monopolist or oligarch.
