I have set my IAP for a product in my app as 1.99$ AUD, Alternate Tier 1.

And following are the screenshots when purchasing from the app.

After successful purchase, $1.00 is deducted from my bank account. See the screenshot below. (The top transaction)

I am unable to understand why it happened. My itunes account is configured with Australia as my region, and also I have set the AUD 1.99$. If there is a 30% or 70% ratio between apple and the developer, then also this $1.0 deduction don't make any sense here.

My friend purchased it in US and it showed him $0.99 while purchasing. I guess it should be more than that as 1.99 AUD is equal to 1.46 USD.

Also on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/thought-tracker/id1142077076?ls=1&mt=8 it is showing the Top Purchases as $0.99 US

I am unable to get the things why there is a difference in transacted money according to bank statement and money shown in default IAP alert of the application.

1.) Pricing tiers are not directly converted from USD, and in many cases, are set separately. There is no $1.46 AUD tier...just .99, 1.99, etc. regardless of currency.

See your Developer Agreement for the latest pricing tiers. I believe Apple recently modified for AUD.

2.) We're not allowed to see your inlne screenshots.

• When someone in AU makes a 1.99 AUD purchase, you should see 1.39 AUD into your account (no currency conversion).

• When someone in the US makes a .99 USD purchase, you should see .93 AUD into your account (currency converted).

Note that actual amounts can vary depending on rates, any VAT, etc.

3.) If you buy your own AUD $1.99 IAP and get charged only $1 AUD via iTunes as a user, something isn't right as you should see x.99 as part of any transaction, not a round $1 AUD, and certainly $1.99 AUD in that example, I think.
