You have your full price F. They have their sale price S. The amount you get is max( 0.2*F, 0.7*S ). So if they give it away for free (without asking permission), then they can pay you 20% of your original retail price per copy they give away. They don't even need to ask; the only reason they ask is to get permission to pay you NOTHING. So I guess this danger of piles of bad reviews can happen outside of your control if you're on the Amazon market and they decide that your app is good enough pull in new users -- and they'll be giving you 2/7 of what you'd normally make per sale. Overall, Amazon is not giving me a Warm And Fuzzy Feeling (TM). Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
