I've got a strange problem - the prices displayed are incorrect.

The item is correct (going by the title and the thumbnail and other fields - they match what is on the product page I'm looking at on Amazon's site) but the prices aren't. It looks like the prices coming up in the plugin are list prices, possibly. But Amazon's page doesn't show a strikeout or any other indication that the price is temporarily lower.

I have a test page with 4 items and all of the prices are wrong. I am comparing the "Amazon Price" with "Price" on Amazon's page (not third party or offers).

The plugin displays the list price and also the lowest offer price, you can choose to not display the list price by turning off that option.

Right, I understand. I was just clarifying that I'm sure I'm not comparing list price with lowest offer price. The list price in the plugin display (my site) is not the same as the list price on Amazon.

Here's my page with the items: joomla.aboutthebeatles.com/store

The first one is listed as Amazon Price: 199.98 but when you click on the link the price is 169.98.

The next item down the page is listed as Amazon Price: $298.98 but when you click the link the price is $303.62.

In neither case does the "Amazon Price" match up with any listed price (Amazon or 3rd party) shown on the page.

Unfortunately that is the way the Amazon choose to send the price information. What they call the price is the list price.

They also send the lowest offer price. They include their own price among the offers, so if it is the lowest price it will be the same as the lowest new offer price, but otherwise it won't be among the information. Why they do it that way I do not understand, but we have been into this very thoroughly because you are not the first person to notice this, and this is definitely the way it works.

What I suggest is that you just ignore the list price, and display the new and used offers.
