Quote:
Where I live canned vegetables run about 67 cents. If I go about 300 miles/482 km then the price goes up to about $1 a can. This is in the same state.
But that is not a good example because of the regional differences between wages, salaries, local government regulations, price control of supermarkets etc..

That was the same supermarket chain.
Actually the canned good example is perfect for the very reasons you mentioned it wasn't.
Different wages, government regulations, cost of living, and when you get into the worldwide market you also get exchange rates.
Note: this is for self-published.
Now I don't know if Amazon has changed their payment policy, but at first authors got paid in the currency of the Amazon store. Example US was dollars, UK was pounds, and so forth and so on.
So the author would have to find an international bank and pay the exchange fees to cash said checks.
