Can I set my own prices for the digital media I sell?
Yes, within certain limits.
For a single digital file, you may charge any price you want at or above 68 cents. For a collection of files, you may charge any price you want at or above the greater of these two values: $3.99 or 25 cents multiplied by the number of files in that collection.
For example, if a collection has 6 items in it, you may price that collection at $3.99 or higher. If a collection has 18 items in it, then the minimum you can price that collection is $4.50 (18 items multiplied by 25 cents).
