Hey Al, Thanks for your response. Requesting each developer to switch to Paypal is definitely an option, if I really want a particular app I'll be sure to ask the developer to do this. Often that means asking them to upload to AndAppStore AND sign up to Paypal at the same time, but that's an unavoidable situation.
Unfortunately, nagging a developer to switch to Paypal is a lot more work than jumping on a torrent site or rapidshare. This is no fault of AndAppStore, but I find it difficult to justify this approach when discussing the options with others who are having the same problem. I wonder if there is a way to communicate this fact to all the developers who are complaining about low sales? Thanks for your work on AndAppStore.
