Adding "Physical List Price" iTunes Producer - I'm struggling with Euros

In iTunes Producer, in the Rights and Pricing section, I'm trying to list the Physical List Price of a digital-only book as €9.10 (since my Physical List Price in US dollars is $11.99). When I fill in 9.10 it changes immediately to €910,00 when I move to another field, which is a whole lot of money for a book, I think. The same thing happens in every territory using Euros. Am I just putting this in wrong or is this actually correct and it is equivelent to $11.99? I've tried moving the decimal. Does this number even matter since it's not the selling price (the price teir) anyway? Thanks for looking at this.

Seriously, does no one have an answer for this bug? The conversion to Euros is exactly as you describe. Is no one selling iBooks in a European territory? I have tried every which way to get Producer to take the right price, and it does not work. Apple? Come on!!!

Here's the best fix I can come up with (after wasting way too much time on this):

Example: for 7.99 EUROS, use a comma instead of a decimal point (stop). 7,99

That seems to work fine. I'm not sure if the Euro syntax is different or this is just sloppy coding.

I'm almost releived that I'm not the only person to see that. My post was over three months ago, so I thought it was a glitch that had probably been fixed. That was the first and only book I've published, and it's been so long that I've forgotten how I got it to work out. It never did clear up in the interface, but somewhere down the line it corrected itself. I think I set the Euros to the correct number, just let the system screw it up, and moved on. Your description of using a comma sounds like a more immediate fix than what I arrived at.

It would be great if someone could post a real answer. I only have a foggy and confused comment that will maybe be of limited help. Yes, I wasted gobs of time on it too.

It is.

The euro generally uses a comma instead of a period.
