The multiple holds are described on the Checkout help here: https://checkout.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=105940 (You might want to forward that to your users.) I presume the reason for doing it is so that Google can combine multiple purchases from a user into one charge on their card, so as to avoid incurring multiple fixed per-charge fees if the user purchases many apps in a short time. It's mildly annoying for the users, but I think it makes sense overall. I've noticed that iTunes does the same thing. -- Jon --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

This is definately not good. Most people would get pretty ticked off if there was a hold for 3 times the amount they actually spent.
