Attribute Pricing Doubling the "Base Price" ???

Hello:

I have a situation with a particular attribute pricing. I am pricing a product by size. In this instance the sizes are for dog "bandana collars." Sizes are 10" to 24". The base price is $13.97 including shipping. The way I have it set up is the 10" is $13.97, 12" is $13.97, 14" is an additional $2.00. I have the product page set up for "price by attributes" and have the price at $13.97. The problem is that when you add the 10" (priced at $13.97) to the cart, it doubles the price to $27.94. When you click on the other sizes, such as 18" it does what it is supposed to do and adds $4.00 to the base price of $13.97 and totals at $17.97. I have tried a few things but I can't stop the base price from doubling. Not only is this happing with this particular category, but any category I have priced that way is doing the same thing.

I attempted to insert an image of the attribute controller so you could see the settings but for some reason it's not working.

This is a page for one of the products that I am talking about: http://www.petluxuryboutique.com/-c-1354/america-the-beautiful-bandana-collar-p-34163

Any help is appreciated, Thank you,

Silver

Since you want the 10" product to be 13.97 and the base price is 13.97, the 10" attributes "additional" price should be 0.

Do you mean in the attribute controller the 10" price should be 0? I just quickly set the 10" price to 0 and it worked but now there is no price showing for the 10" in the dropdown?

thanks,

Silver

You should either (1) set the base price to 0 and set the 10" attribute price to +$13.97 or (2) set the base price to $13.97 and the attribute price to +$0.00.

I am afraid I am confused. How would I set the base price to 0 in the attributes controller?

This is a screen shot of the attributes controller settings: Attachment 13898

You don't. When a product is priced by attribute, you need to set the base product price when you create or edit the product to 0.00. You can't have it both ways. You can't price a product by attribute and add a certain amount to other attributes. You'll need to price the !0 and 12 inch versions at 13.97 and the 14 inch version at 15.97, etc.
