Thanks everyone for the feedback. For the record, I had the app published since the Market's inception (~1.5 years?) with 5000+ downloads, a multitude of ratings, etc.
Denis, do you have any ideas on how to fight it? I'm not blaming anyone but myself on this one, but would love to have my downloads and ratings back. Thanks again. I opened a ticket with support, and this was the response: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for writing in. Once you've set the price of an application, you can change it at any time. However, if you've previously published an application for free, you cannot change it to have a price. If you'd like to sell your application, you'll need to upload a new APK and add a price. If we can assist you further, please let us know.
