I just did some data analysis on our orders from our local database copy. (we're in canada, so the only way we can calculate tax is by scraping the checkout pages).
it looks like our overall orders have actually dropped (which suggests a change in the market, not Checkout) but that the ratio of cancels to charged has also gone up (suggests a change in Checkout, not Market) after the 19th, until april 24th when we get a whopping 50% cancels! It's pretty clear that there is some sort of problem... in the interest of helping to get this resolved, here are our numbers, charged vs. cancelled, for the last several days, so other publishers can compare with their own data: total financial_status day 26 CANCELLED 2011-04-24 26 CHARGED 2011-04-24 10 CANCELLED 2011-04-23 28 CHARGED 2011-04-23 15 CANCELLED 2011-04-22 39 CHARGED 2011-04-22 11 CANCELLED 2011-04-21 31 CHARGED 2011-04-21 14 CANCELLED 2011-04-20 34 CHARGED 2011-04-20 <== orders get mucked up here 20 CANCELLED 2011-04-19 <== Last normal day of sales 57 CHARGED 2011-04-19 24 CANCELLED 2011-04-18 45 CHARGED 2011-04-18 22 CANCELLED 2011-04-17 42 CHARGED 2011-04-17 I don't know if anyone else is seeing numbers like this, but for us this is a big deal as our margins are not that great. I've already asked support if something has changed in the Market recently, but i haven't taken this to Checkout yet. Maybe if one of you Google employees who have an eye on this stuff can pass the problem along, it would be helpful. - Brill Pappin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
