Once your ebook is published, you can view and edit your ebook's retail pricing and distribution options from the My Projects page. Under the reseller model you will always make the same revenue as displayed in the retail pricing step for each ebook sold by that retailer, regardless of the sale price. Since these retailers are buying your book from an intermediary at a set price, they can resell your ebook at any price they like, including a discounted price. This means they pay the wholesale price to a distributor when your ebook sells. Other retailers (Amazon and Kobo) operate as resellers. That is because some retailers (Lulu, Apple, and Barnes & Noble) act as sales agents meaning they sell your ebook at the price you set then take a commission based on that price. You may notice that your revenue amounts change based on the retail sites you select to distribute your book. It will not be displayed in the Lulu bookstore and will not be returned in search results. Note: If you deselect Lulu from the distribution list, your ebook will be published in Private Access.
