If I go to a broker and say Good luck getting anyone to investigate the shoplifting of 50 cents worth of bubblegum. I couldn't even get anyone to investigate the theft of my bicycle... :) 'I have a product here, please sell it for me' it is not my fault if > the broker takes a bad card - that is on them, and the worst I lose is > one of my product.

The difference is that such a broker makes a profit selling your goods, whereas Google is not making a profit from app sales. Hypothetically speaking, if you want Google to absorb these costs, you would have to be willing to let Google make a profit on app sales, which means receiving less than the 70% you're currently getting. In essence you'd be buying insurance, from Google. This, literally, says "hey, we screwed up and took a bad card. So > we're charging you the fees. Sorry, we can't tell you anything about > the card or help you do anything to prevent it happening again." You don't know that this was about a bad (i.e. stolen) card. It could just as well have been someone being petty and wanting their dollar back, even though they waited too long to get a refund through regular means. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
