Your payment is calculated based on the following:
Your list price: The price you associated with your book and uploaded to AbeBooks. Note: The amount will be in the currency that you are billed by AbeBooks, not the currency that you upload your prices in, if the two are different. For instance, if you are a Canadian bookseller and your inventory is uploaded with prices in CAD (Canadian Dollars), the amount displayed will be USD (United States Dollars) because that is the currency AbeBooks will bill you in.
Markup: Amount added your list price when inventory is uploaded to reseller program sites.
Shipping Increment: The additional shipping reimbursement provided for international shipments for a reseller program.
Shipping: The shipping you charge the buyer (as set in your shipping matrix) or the shipping reimbursement for a reseller program sale.
Gross Payable: The total of your list price, the markup value and shipping/shipping increment.
