Seriously, this is ridiculous.

We've been trying to enable billing on our sandbox/demo appid for the
last two hours.  We have a customer waiting for a demo and we can't
give it.

Please, PLEASE do something about this abomination.  I love appengine,
but the billing system is retarded.  It makes the Phone Company look
high tech.

Every time we enable billing, it says "ok" and status goes to
Activating Billing.  After some random amount of time it goes back to
Free mode with no error messages.  Trying to    enable it again emails
a nastygram: Comments from Google Services: "This inactive
subscription has been canceled" ...and goes back to Activating
Billing.  Round and round we go.

Appid is voosttest.  Yes we've filed a request at the billing form.

Put this in context.  I can walk up to a janky ATM in Guatemala, put
in a card, and get money out of it immediately.  I can whip out a
credit card in nearly any store in the world, buy thousands of dollars
of merchandise, and walk out with it.  And yet the most technically
sophisticated corporation in the world needs 30+ minutes to process a
simple sale - when it works at all?  I struggle to imagine what could
make this so complicated.
