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
Hello, I bought two N7's from the Google Play store in Canada, one for myself and one for my friend. When I activated mine with my Google account, I automatically received the $25 credit right away. When my friend signed in using her own Gmail account, she saw the welcome screen with the $25 credit mentioned, but she had never set up her Google Wallet account and the tablet asked her to enter her credit card info. She was busy at the time so she skipped it. And then later today she entered her credit card info but she didn't see the $25 credit. What should she do?
EDIT: She deleted her account and added it back and now she sees the credit!

Check my thread to know why US$25 is not shown.

Hi everybody!
i'm struggling with a problem regarding google play music all access:
i just want to subscribe for the service starting with the trial.
i'm from italy and actually i live in the uk, since i've been in the uk i've used the play store in british pounds.
now i want to subscribe to the service but weirdly i see the page in italian with the price in euros and i just can't pay with my british credit card.
i reported this to the google assistance but after a few weeks they still can't find a solution!
the only think i can do is asking the community!!!
other informations:
google wallet: linked british address and british credit card
google play: all shown in pounds, previous purchases in pounds
it isn't a cache problem of the app, i've got the same problem on other devices and on the web as well.
now guys thanks for the help (sorry for my english!)
They mentioned this is due to the policy of the country IP. You need to log into Google Dashboard and change your location to UK. Also they mentioned normal browsing for a few days or weeks with a UK IP the change will be automatic. I used to be able to view the US Play store the same way but now I can't.
Hello,
I'm asking this from the people who have previously purchased devices from Google Play.
We know that Google Pllay devices are not available everywhere. When I use a US VPN I'm able to see the devices, all other times it says 'Devices are not available' in your country'.
So, my question is do I need to change my cards billing address, to US or the billing address of my home country works fine? It would be life saving if someone could guide me through this
P.S: I regularly buys apps from Google play and purchase other stuff using Google Wallet.
Billing and shipping adress put it as your forwarder's

Hey, thanks for replying. Did you purchase it this way? I'm worried that changing the billing address(we are changing country) might put a red flag on google wallet and I've used the same card on counless times on google wallet before.
Does anyone know a simple way to get onto the google store site from overseas? I've tried using Hola but no luck, and it seems to have changed as I definitely could get onto it a few weeks ago. I've seen the credit card stuff online but that seems rather laborious.
Failing that, I've subscribed to the nexus updates on google - will that tell me when its back in stock in the US?
I'm in CA in late Nov and want to get a 6P but avoid paying UK prices! The other option is through the Huawei store, but I'd prefer google's after service.
Cheers
Use a VPN service to create a new Google account, then you could access the store with that account.
But Google might not accept your credit card, even if it's international. They want it to be American..
