Hi all,

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but if so, I can't find it.

I uploaded a book on Amazon yesterday, went through all the steps and everything was fine. Or so it seemed...

I uploaded my book for $4.99, yet when it went live on Amazon it was displayed as $6.99. I then chamged it to $3.99 on my side and Amazon moved it to $5.99.

Can anyone tell me why there is a difference? After all, I get paid royalties on my price (3.99/4.99) yet Amazon's price is different.

I haven't seen that. Weird.

Do you have the title listed at another site for a different amount? Amazon has bots that search for book listings and they alter prices sometimes.

You're in a territory with a surcharge because there's no amazon store there. $2 is common.

Buyers in supported territories will see the price you set.

Feel like an idiot! KDP explained that to me

Thanks
