[android-developers] Google banned AdSense account, and will not pay money earned with Paid App

[Paulo Cesar]

Hi everybody, I have a app published for more then one year, Lumiè, for 
photo enchantments. So, early in Android, payments were sent to AdSense, 
before they migrated to Google Checkouts. Thing is, I had more then 
$4.000,00 in Google AdSense, but never was able to receive the money. Last 
month, I discovered I have to validate my account with a PIN number, but I 
never received the PIN number, because my account didn't reach $10. 

Seems insane right? I had 4000, but they didn't sent me the PIN because of 
$10.. Anyway, to be able to receive, I installed Google AdSense in my wife 
blog, hosted by Google Blogger. The process was automated, so I didn't have 
to do anything, just enable.

Problem is, yesterday, I received a mail from Google, saying my AdSense 
account is banned for invalid clicks. But the thing is, the blog never was 
able to generate more then $5 dollars, so I'm really confused why they did 
that.

After appealing, they rejected my appeal, and according to the AdSense FAQ, 
I won't be able to receive my money!

So I'm really disappointed with Google, because I only used their services, 
and now they seem to rob me *$4.000,00* dollars!!! That's a lot of money, 
and I need that to live.

*Anything I can do?* *Besides never, ever, developing for Google again?*

I was expecting for someone inside Google to listen to my rant, and point 
out at somebody who can solve my problem? 

I don't like lawyers.. But it seems that I have no other way of dealing 
with this right? Since Google support is completely ignoring me..

That's a joke, right? That has to be a joke. Good one.

Hi,

Yes it definitely was a joke, sorry I should have been a bit more explicit 
it describing it that way ;-)

And no offence is intended to the op.

I was referring to the OP's statement of expecting someone from Google to
listen ... =P

Google isn't exactly known for having responsive support.

That's confusing.
So you had a AdSense account with with $4.000 in it but you never got a pin
because you needed $10?

The account is verified by the end of each month, in you had in there more
than $10 you could get the PIN.
What might happen is that it may not be sent right away.

Re: [android-developers] Google banned AdSense account, and will not pay money earned with Paid App

[Paulo Cesar]

That it's what I thought! But apparently there was a bug in the system who 
prevented it.

Understand this, in the past, Google didn't had an infrastructure to pay 
Android sales for developers outside US. So they transferred the money to 
AdSense. But AdSense would only send the PIN if you have at least $10 in 
Ads. But my money isn't from ads, it's from sales. That's why they never 
sent me the PIN.

I only discovered this last month, and when I installed adsense on my wife 
blog to get those $10, Google banned my account. Pretty nice huh?

..

Oh, and about the joke, I actually saw that Roman Guy answering a developer 
on the forum. But I believe he is one of the only humans working on 
Google...
