Yes, that's fine if I sell my own products. The difference is: on my own products which I sell to you, I still have some profit after subtracting the costs, card charges etc.although the bundle price is cheaper. On the 10 EUR - it will be a big loss for me - Tony mentioned it in his email. First of all, I get no share from the 10 EUR at all, so it eats up another bit of my time. Worse, I would have to charge you VAT, but pay out 10 EUR to Tony VAT-free (we both have VAT-IDs). This will make me lose 16%. Plus the costs and charges for credit card transactions would be on me too ... so even without counting my time, over 20% bang! gone! I will need to write an invoice, mail it - and that all costs money. I'm not saying I am generally not willing to collect royalty fees, but I can't afford to lose money by doing so. Maybe something else which we should discuss with Wolfgang. I believe transferring money from the UK (Roy, soon D&D?), the US (MUCH more expensive for a future reseller coming up soon?) :-) etc. will cost a fortune, and as I am paying money to Tony on a quartely base anyway AND accept card payment (which still is the cheapest international method of payment), I'm sure we can figure out something together. ... so we have to wait for Wolfgangs reply - maybe he can come up with a suggestion.
