I also got this reply from megachan on Android Market Forum, I think he has some excellent points:
Re: I would be very cautious in dealing with Chinese app distributor. I sold plenty of apps through my distributor but the problem isn't selling your app it is collecting the money. It is impossible to collect your money, and I dealt with big public company not just your small mom and pop. Don't even think about litigation, it's hopeless. So in China either DIY or have a partner that you can leverage. I finally worked out a 2 way deal in the end where I sell their apps and they sell ours. That's the only way to ensure proper payment. megachan On Aug 17, 5:36 am, gunnar-medial <[email protected]> wrote: > Might not be a scam.
