[Q] How to sell paid application from an unsupported country?

Hi, I want to sell an application developed by me, but this service is not supported in my country (Romania). So I want to ask a friend of mine who lives in a country (France or US) where selling paid applications is possible to help me with this. Now I don't know exactly what to tell him about the process: What is required by his side ? A bank account or a credit card ? How the money are transferred to him ? What exactly Google checks to verify if the developer is in one of the supported countries ? Please help me to understand the process as I'm new in the Android world

You'd need to setup the Merchant account with an address in that country, then have a bank account and tax/business registration information for that country, for it to work

Thank you, tax/business registration what this means (sorry, don't used with these) ? From the fees taken by Google (30%), your incomes will be also taxed by the
country's regulatory ?
Do I need to have a company for this ? Thank you.

I've seen apps that is in the free market, but when you download it it asks you to go to a website and pay with PayPal to receive a code which you input in the app. Don' know if that's against Google's ToS tho or something

To revive this topic a bit.
I am also having this issue, since my country is unsupported by Google. Do you think would be a double if I travel to Italy for example, open current account there and sign up to Developer Console like I am from Italy? I can find some address there, since Google also asking for your residence address. But, will they ask for additional confirmation? Like passport or ID card copy to see that I am on that address or they will not?
Or if any of you find out other way how to sell the apps on GP from unsupported countries, would be great!
Thanks

I asked the very same thing yesterday but no one answered yet. I have an address in another, supported country, but i am still waiting for the invoice to send it for the verification. Since I havent had any payments for 2 months now and I sold lots of paid apps I worry about that I wont see that money ever... I hope they wont refuse my verification just because i will send them an ID and an invoice with different addresses and countries.. I'll let you know if they answered.

Same questions here.
I see you posted some paid apps on Google Play, so did you came up with a solution?
Any help would be great

Retrieve Registered Email???

I cannot seem to find the email on which I registered my NC. I only have 3.. and I've checked them all.
Is there some way I can check this value in a CWM rooted Nook?
Preferably without unrooting, registering again, and rerooting..? ???

Do you mean when you registered the stock Nook with B&N? It's the same as your sign on to the B&N website.

Well.. I've never actually signed into the B&N website. I'd read GP books and library stuff on the Nook Color. I'd just bought a Simple Reader though, and wanted them to have the same sign in just in case.
I ended up having to unroot, and try to reregestar and talk to B&N support since neither of the emails I use worked. I'd miss-spelled my email when I set it up. Embarrassing but funny, and cost me an hour of my life trying to work with a rep who kept insisting I restart my router. She eventually reset it for me though.

[Q] US Play Store on UK Nexus 7?

Does anyone know how to get the US Play Store working in the UK on a UK Nexus 7?
I want access to the magazines and TV shows which I can't get over in the UK store. I already registered my gmail account to a US address and bank card number (I used it on the US iTunes store). I also have a VPN but I don't know how to set up the N7 to use it like that...

u can try downloading hotspot shield on your computer(i think they have an app for android too) to get the US Play store. and try sending the app u downloaded to your device. not sure if it would work. but i tried it once and i was able to use the US play store. but didn't bother to try it out.
hope this helps

Questions go in the Q&A section

It turns out that all I had to do was set it up using a shared US VPN and it loaded all the US apps to my Nexus 7 including Google Wallet. It even generated me a prepaid card to use for shopping with $10 credit.
There are some extra things I did to make it work however which may or may not make a difference and even after these steps the US apps vanished after a few hours disconnected from the US VPN.
Steps I took:
1. Set up a US gmail address.
2. Set up a US Unlocked prepaid US debit card and US address (this works great on iTunes as well).
3. Purchased a US VPN service and set up the VPN to share over WiFi on my Mac so that as soon as I logged in on the N7 it thought I was in the US.
4. Registered my US unlocked card and address to my US gmail address.
5. Reset N7 and connected to shared US VPN over WiFi.
The N7 thought it was in the US and everything loads and works. Including the US $25 credit for buying a N7.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Now I had two problems here. I couldn't redeem my US credit as my US Unlocked card was not topped up yet.
So I couldn't download anything either using the free credit or the topped up card yet.
I disconnected the VPN and it would load up the UK store no problem. All the US apps remained accessible. I made an additional gmail account so I had one US and UK account as well.
I left the N7 connected to my standard WiFi and a few hours later all the US apps were gone!
Reconnecting to the US VPN had the effect of allowing the play store to let me access all the magazines and TV shows but I couldn't see if downloading a magazine would make the play magazines app appear again or not.
My next steps here are to reconnect to US VPN for several hours and see if that brings back the US apps and when I have credit on the card to try purchasing and see if the apps remain.
What is clear is if I reset the N7 I can set it up again as a US N7 with all the apps.
I find it strange that the US apps would be removed automatically because if you went on holiday from the US to anywhere else in the world then all your US content would be removed after a few hours connected to foreign WiFi.
That doesn't seem right...?!
LETS TRY IT ON A GALAXY NEXUS
So I thought I wonder if I can make this work on a stock unlocked GN without rooting.
I had a US prepaid T-Mobile SIM lying around that doesn't work but I put it in the GN and reset it to factory and connected to the US Shared VPN.
And it worked... Wallet appeared and I was again able to generate another $10 gift card. (If I go on a US holiday I have made $20 from nothing!).
What was strange was that the play store would not let me access any music, movies, TV shows or books - only the app store.
I then put my UK Sim back in and restarted the GN and all the US apps vanished again but the play store allowed me access to all its UK products again.
Stuck the US SIM back in and the apps came back but store only showed apps again. Wallet was back as well.
It seems to me that the play store won't load anything other than apps on the GN without a working US SIM card but will allow Google Wallet to work.
I realise that I can root the galaxy nexus and set up custom firmware to make this work but I don't need to do that - I was just experimenting with the phone.
The N7 on the other hand I would like to be able to access US content at all times so I will try again when I have credit on my US unlocked card.

How did you manage to get a 'Shared us VPN' Would really appreciate any help!

Use superfreevpn or us newfreevpn.

Setup Google Play outside USA

So in a week or so my tablet will arrive in The Netherlands and I want to make sure I will receive my $25 credit and the free content. So I already have my Google Wallet linked to my credit card and my billing & shipping address are set to USA by default.
Do you think I will still need to connect to VPN first to a server in USA before signing in to my Google account?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the guide for getting the $25!

In case it helps, I know someone in the UK got the free credit without having to take all those steps, just by ensuring registration, doing a test purchase eg of a free ebook to make sure their credit card details were recognised (apparently the system is very fussy if the details registered are even slightly different from what's on the credit card), and making sure they did all that BEFORE putting their Google Account details in the new Nexus 7.

Strange. I've used the same credit card for months, purchasing several apps and games. Still, I didn't get the $25 credit. I'm going to try the VPN method.

I lost my B&N account details from my rooted Nook (one tweak too many, methinks) and used the DeviceRegistrator app to re-register. So far, so good but now my shop and prices are in US dollars and I can't purchase because my Nook account doesn't have a US billing address.
Is the DeviceRegistrator a B&N app or a root-specific one? I've read conflicting posts.
Although my Nook Touch is registered to my account, I think it is connecting to the wrong B&N cloud. Does anybody know if I can use Device Registrator to connect to the UK cloud? I don't think I can actually type in the servlet URL manually in the Pref URL Options field.

Can anybody post a version of the DeviceRegistrator app from a UK Nook? I'd like to replace my current version to see if I can de-register/re-register and be able to buy books from the UK store again.

Shop changed to US from UK

Hi
Can you tell me how you got this working? My shop stopped working completely after rooting and when I used Device Registrator it has now changed to US! How can I change back without resorting default settings?
Thanks.

Does anybody at least know what is the uk store URL ? There must be some system file, where it can be typed manually
