pricelists are confusing

So trying to use the new pricelist feature and honestly, I hate it.
I'm hoping to sell a digital download to an interested client and when I go under "set prices" there is no actual option to "set prices". Apparently I have to use pricing from a previous gallery and when I do that, I can't figure out how to actually list what options (prints, downloads) I'm trying to sell and then price them.
Is there a way I can switch back to the old (and much easier) format if I've already switched to pricelists?
What am I missing that is making it so difficult to price and sell a single file as a digital download?
I can use google checkout/wallet and set this up in about 30 seconds and just send the dude the file. It seems unlikely SM intentionally made pricelists more complicated than that, so what am I missing?

When you are setting up a pricelist, if you would like, you can set up a new one and only have the items you would like offered just like you did in the old pricing tool.
To do this, go into any gallery and click Tools > Set Prices > Manage Pricelists. From there, click 'Create New'
After that, you can choose which products you would like to have in that pricelist and assign it to galleries. Here is where you would select the items for sale:

Thanks for your help.
I still don't see where I actually set the price. Yeah, I see the percentage markup, but what's the price I'm charging the client? Obviously 100-percent markup for a 99-cent item is a little different than for a 99-dollar item.
Seems like I remember the old system actually listing a price that I could change, not a percentage.

On the left side of the screen, in front of 'commercial photo license' you will see an arrow symbol. Expand that to be shown the products in that category. You can either set the final price or set an amount of profit and let SmugMug do the maths to set the price. Either works,
Hope that helps,

*confused*
i.e. When I made a -new- pricelist, there isn't a 'gallery picker'. How do you implement a NEW price list?

Forget that I used the word 'default' in the name, lets say I just call it "New List".
How do I make it the 'default' list? That's where I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to assign a completely new list to any galleries.
Edit the pricelist, and then click the box for "Make this my default pricelist"

The "create new price list" does not work as far as I can tell.
Thank you, I'm moving on.
You can find the 'create new' button in the top right of the manage pricelists screen:
It's essential if you'd like to choose a different lab as you cannot change the lab on an existing pricelist.
After clicking on it, you should see this:
Just enter a name, pick the lab and adjust the other settings as you'd like to. Then you can click on create to create the new pricelist.
