   Way back when I started working on the pro features what I had planned

 almost ready for release and Google has taken away my ability to issue a
 partial refund


AFAIK, partial refunds was never something you could do. It was an option
in the Google Checkout interface, but it was not actually possible to do
it. It's all or nothing.


 , and even my ability to look up an order by name or e-mail (I HATE that,
 WHY did they do that?)


Maybe I haven't been updated to the latest and greatest Wallet experience,
but I can still do that ...


 What would be ideal would be if I could allow them to purchase the pro
 version from the play store at a discount if they do it via an in-app
 purchase from within the lite version.  Is such a thing possible?  If so,
 can I get a pointer or 2 on how to implement it or if not then any other
 ideas on how to accomplish my objective?


Sounds like you have to add the features to your lite version, locked
behind an in-app purchase. I don't think you can do what you want with two
different paid versions.

Side note: adding an in-app purchase to already paid app is probably not
going to fly well with most users. Good luck.

Or, as with me, it could turn out to be the smartest thing you ever did and 
fly extremely well. Just saying and YMMV and so forth.
