Is one of your books cheaper on another site? If you're on GooglePlay, I'd start looking there.
"A reminder on KDP pricing"
"Hello,

Thanks for publishing with KDP."
Anyone know why I would have gotten this email? Did anyone else get this email?

I am. Google Play marked down my books automatically, I assumed that was treated the same way every % discounting was treated. Nook does the same thing.YodaRead said:Is one of your books cheaper on another site? If you're on GooglePlay, I'd start looking there.
yah Google Play marked down the $2.99 books to $2.51, but my list price is $2.99. I can't doooo anything about that, can I?
You have to make your GooglePlay price high enough that when they automatically discount it that it's still higher than Amazon's price.GeneDoucette said:yah Google Play marked down the $2.99 books to $2.51, but my list price is $2.99. I can't doooo anything about that, can I?
crap. OK, thanks.YodaRead said:You have to make your GooglePlay price high enough that when they automatically discount it that it's still higher than Amazon's price.
Make your Google Play book $3.93 if you want it to show up as $2.99.
I got the same email today, but have been pretty diligent about keeping my prices consistent. I can't see my Google Play price. I've set my price higher there to accommodate their discounting...
$3.93 worked, thanks everyone
I didn't get that e-mail from KDP, but a few days ago I got an e-mail asking me to take a survey about "KDP pricing support." I haven't taken the survey (not yet, at least), but I can't even figure out why I got it. I don't think I contacted KDP about anything in the past six months. 
I got one of those too. It's super annoying because I'm in Australia and can't check the US prices on google play.
Speaking of Google Play… did anyone ever get nay money from Google? I remember having my books listed with them some time ago and never getting paid. As a result I eventually took down all my books.
Hi, I am new here. You've said Google Play wasn't good. Is there any source profitable you found?Guido Henkel said:Speaking of Google Play... did anyone ever get nay money from Google?

I got this email about a month ago and I wrote to them asking which book(s) they were referring in particular as I didn't believe that I had any price descrepancies but that as I'm in the UK, I can't necessarily see the US price for my books. I received an apology saying that this is a standard email that they send out intermittently to remind authors of Zon's pricing policy and it wasn't sent in reference to any specific book.GeneDoucette said:"Hello,

Google actually pay up better than any other retailer - a few days after the end of the month. I wasn't paid the first month I was with them and had to double check my payment details. There was some check box I hadn't checked or something like that and, of course, they don't tell you.Guido Henkel said:Speaking of Google Play... did anyone ever get nay money from Google?

I've never had my books automatically discounted in the Nook store.GeneDoucette said:I am. Google Play marked down my books automatically, I assumed that was treated the same way every % discounting was treated. Nook does the same thing.
The Google Play stuff is annoying I agree, but I've not seen that from any other retailer.
That is a very dated post and the suggested amounts no longer produce the predicted result.S.R. Booth said:
As long as I put my books at 25% higher than other stores, I bring in £600 (roughly $900) a month there. Not huge I know, but it's a steady growth not the ups and downs of Amazon.gregpippin said:Hi, I am new here. You've said Google Play wasn't good. Is there any source profitable you found?
They do. I've used it to price all my books and they came out at exactly the right amount.Mercia McMahon said:That is a very dated post and the suggested amounts no longer produce the predicted result.
