Some Paypal employees in China told me that I can list my app in market as free but use their payment library in my app to ask user to pay for it. They even told me that Google allow this.
Those Paypal employees said that because Google doesn't allow Chinese developers to publish paid apps in market so their solution is a very good alternative method to avoid using of Google Checkout and get revenue from "free" apps. I don't think it's legal so I refused this suggestion. But I still want to know why Google has this discrimination policy that doesn't allow developers from China or other countries to publish their apps as paid app? Apple has no this policy and we can list our apps as paid in Apple market.
