I get charged $.02 a month for appengine use. Can google please
implement a "minimum" charge for appengine.
Although I like the idea of bankrupting google via processing fees, I
kind of need gmail so I don't really want that to happen.

+1 on this (low priority though)

We have a pilot project that gets charged 7c a week... It drives the
accountant crazy. I find it amusing that Google (as in Google App
Engine) charges our credit card 7c every Monday but Google (as in
Google ads) will not send us a check until the amount reaches $10.00
because of overhead reasons...

I suggest GAE charges as often as once a day when the balance exceeds
$100.00 but  once a month if the amount is below that, or something
along these lines so we only get many accounting entries if the amount
justifies the overhead.

that's great news! Monthly billing would be much more convenient.
Any issue we can star on that?

Under the new scheme you will be charged $9.02 per month. Problem solved...

I had a similar problem where I got a 30 cent bill but my bank refused to
process a debit card charge of 50 cents or less.  It was really a pain to
figure out the problem and fix it.

The ideal solution for me would be for adsense to dump the money into google
checkout.  Thus I would only need to pay when adsense did not cover it.

Baby steps =). I've heard similar feedback before. We're not currently
looking into better AdSense integration at least with regards to payment.

You saw that was an April 1st email ;-)

Though likely the 30 cent processing charge on my app that uses 7-10 cents a
day is slowly bankrupting Google...   (as an MSFT alumni that was my evil
plan all along, to bring down Google one "quarter" at a time, unfortunately
my apps were to popular and I can only bring them down two dimes at a time)

that's great news! Monthly billing would be much more convenient.
Any issue we can star on that?
