Personally I don't think its an issue. I think it should stay in here

android-discuss for that).

Would this be something people would be interested in?

I'm really not looking forward to making any real money on Android, at
least not for some time to come.
Once I finish my US Weekly within an hour, can I get a refund?
Exactly. What about watching a movie that cost you $7.50? Do you get
a refund every time after watching it?
What about going

The answer can't be so write a different type of application.
Certainly these are good strategies, but not suited to every kind of
game; seeing that type of game disappear from the market is not a
forward-thinking solution. Some people WANT these simple little games.

Hi Stoyan,
You are right, your refund does seem to have happened after 24 hours.
As I understand section 3.4 of
http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html
The developers agree to allow refunds with-in 48 hours, and buyers
have the option for the first 24 hours. May be you
Well, I don't think 3.4 applies to my case because my game does have a
free version, which the user can try before he decides whether to buy
or not.
Now, *frankly* I wouldn't mind the 48 hour period *that* much if at
least the user is asked for an explanation why he cancels his order.
