Hi Moneymitch, As a default setting, Amazon will use the base list price you have already provided for your app to calculate a marketplace list price for your app in the currency of each marketplace. As a default setting, Amazon will calculate a marketplace list price for your app based upon the base list price you have already provided for your app. To change the price of your app in a specific marketplace, sign in to the Distribution Portal and go to the My Apps tab. Once there, select the app for which you would like to edit the list price, and click on the Availability and Pricing tab. You can edit list prices by marketplace by checking the box that says Marketplace list prices. That will expose the option to edit the list price for each marketplace. For any Amazon Marketplace in which we display purchase prices inclusive of VAT or similar taxes, the list price is inclusive of those taxes. However, you will be paid a royalty calculated using the list price exclusive of those taxes. For example, if the list price for your app in an Amazon Marketplace is 1.15 Euro and that Amazon Marketplace displays prices to customers “ inclusive of 15% VAT,” the list price used for the calculation of the royalty is 1.00 Euro. To change the pricing of your IAP items by marketplace, log in to the Distribution Portal and go to My Apps. Select the app associated with the IAP item, choose In-App Items, and go to the Availability and Pricing tab. You can edit the marketplace list prices by checking the Marketplace list prices box. That will expose the option to edit the marketplace list prices by currency and marketplace. The default setting is to have Amazon calculate set marketplace list prices for your IAP based on the U.S. price of that IAP item, using the appropriate currency conversion rate.
