Hi Mark! Thanks for the link! I read it an this is the part that's interesting:
3.3 ... You may not collect future charges from users for copies of the Products that those users were initially allowed to download for free. This is not intended to prevent distribution of free trial versions of the Product with an “upsell” option to obtain the full version of the Product: Such free trials for Products are encouraged. However, if you want to collect fees after the free trial expires, you must collect all fees for the full version of the Product through the Payment Processor on the Market. In this Agreement, “free” means there are no charges or fees of any kind for use of the Product. All fees received by Developers for Products distributed via the Market must be processed by the Market’s Payment Processor. So I am allowed to charge for extra features in a free app as long as these fees are _processed by the Market’s Payment Processor._ And now the big question: how can I do just this? How do I talk to Googles Market Payment Processor from within my app?
