I'd be interested in what the handling fees are. If the user calls Google support (or whoever handles this), and they issue a refund, likely the fees will be less than $1. If the user calls their credit card company and does a charge back, it will be $10 according to the T&C. The difficultly here is that if a developer get's $1 for their app, then a chargeback, they owe $9+ dollars. If they get a lot of these, the developer is going to take a big hit. I'd also be interested in whether Google's 30% transaction fee is also refunded or kept in pocket I'm not sure of Google's policy. At SlideME we have the same problem, and will pass back these costs to the developer, but we also have policies in place to limit this type of abuse, as well as general fraud detection.
