[android-developers] Re: Google Checkout - Any way to manage customer relation / Checkout also putting multiple holds on txns.
Thank you so much!

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.

Is there any management tool that allows one to 'easily' communicate with the customers? Automate a thank you message, or something? In addition we have already had one customer call to say he had multiple $1.00 charges for our $0.99 app. I purchased our $0.99 app and sure enough, I have the following holds on my account 02/20/2009 5399 GOOGLE $1.00 02/20/2009 5399 GOOGLE $1.00 02/20/2009 5399 GOOGLE $0.99 This does not seem right, especially if someone is buying more expensive applications, or using a one time use card.
