I can't point you to a tutorial as I don't have the time to search for one. There are no citizenship restrictions that I know of. You will probably also need to set up a UK bank account. Having said that, I own a UK company, I am aUK citizen but not a resident and y company doesn't have a

Sure, a debit card. I used it in Checkout previously (probably last time for Market registration) so if I choose the 'Credit card only' option it shows the 'Credit card info: saved - not shown for security purposes' line, so it's accepted, although issued outside US/UK. I'm outside UK/US and not

I think we need some clarification from Google on this. I'll read all the terms closer to when my product is ready but I find it hard to believe Google will accept just a credit card. S On 16 Feb 2009, at 14:01, bouvetloz...@gmail.com wrote: Sure, a debit card. I used it in Checkout

I don't think it's easy for everybody. For example... if you were from Romania (where you can find lots of developers)... you wouldn't be familiar with UK law other legal stuff (taxes, etc.). And you will probably be required to travel a few times just to sort these out. (and it's not such a

Sounds like a great idea. But then all the uploads would need to go through you, right? That could make it a burden for you. All rights remain with the developer, so that when the wonderful and popular google checkout opens with a minutes notice in the respective country the app can be published
