amazon query on pricing

[James]

Why is it that although I set the price of my books at USD $ 3.99 on amazon direct publishing - when I go to the website like a buyer it shows $ 7.35 i.e. almost double ? Thoughts appreciated :)

If you aren't based in the US you might not be seeing the proper price.

Ultimately though, the price that it gets sold for is at Amazon's whim.

Which can be a bit annoying.

You're sure the 7.35 is dollars and not pounds or something?

Michael may be right. Non-US sometimes shows different and even sometimes in the US the price gets screwy because Amazon calculates outside the US and they get mixed up..
