Android Market Seller Issues
Sep. 22nd, 2011 11:57 pmAs I've been writing my code, I've also been having a relatively close look at the developer help section of the Android Market site.
I have to say I'm a little confused.
Apparently, you need to have a Google Checkout account, which is hooked up to either a credit card or a bank account, and it won't let me hook it up to a bank account, and I don't have a credit card right now.
(I've bought about half a dozen pre-paid credit cards, but I'm quite sure those don't count for this)
After trying to read some of the help pages, my brain almost hurts.
Apparently, they have to handle each country separately as far as payment goes (which, I suppose, is to be expected), but the drop-down menu for countries on the Google Checkout Seller page only lists the US and UK, leaving out the vast majority of the list they have elsewhere.
I hope this will become clear when I actually get started, but there's no way to know for sure until I get there.
