How to set an App price in Android Market. Only shows Free?

Is there something obvious to set the App pricing in the Android Market. It only shows Free with no option to set a price. The Account Status is Active (tho the bank account is still to be verified) I copied the IMarketBillingService.aidl file into the /src/com/android/vending/billing/ directory from the billing sample folder before building the app. Thanks for any direction, Cheers

I read somewhere you cant update an app that is already free, you need to create a new app (like a pro version), but then I found you cant upload the rebuilt app in android developer because the same name already exists - does that mean you have to create a new app in Buzztouch?

I started off with a free ver. Then after creating some new features I launched the new app with no ads and changed it to a pay app. What I did is create a google checkout account set all your tax info ect. and then just set up a new app by clicking the upload button. Set up the new app as the name of your app. But before you do that change your free app to (Lite) and after you get the pay one up you can keep the old one or delete it.

Thanks Magic Man for your comments. The part I seem to be missing is how to create the android app so the market.android will accept payments. I have the understanding the app needs to be built in sdk by adding in the licence key to the app, etc. If thats the case its not clear how to do that. It cant be that hard I must be missing something??

solved the problem. it was one of a few things : 1. set License Test Response to Licenced in market.android edit profile 2. created new app in buzz touch 3. copy billing and licensing files from sdk and add under src\com folder into app 4. create new app in market.android <<< I suspect 1 2 4 resolved it (nothing like a bit of pig and a poke)???
