Really ... 2 things.
First, the fact is 15 minutes is not enough for most apps. In the case
of a game finished in 1 hour - if it is finished that fast, then it
probably wasn't worth buying in the first place. A good game would
take much more time. More importantly, even with the increased
Users can pay though Google Checkout or Paypal and you keep almost
100% of the money (minus ~2% transaction fee).

That's against the terms of the Developer Agreement, otherwise clearly
it would be stupid not to
Since most users who request a refund do so within minutes of
purchase, we will reduce the refund window on Market to 15 minutes.
This is really bad news for me.
I don't have a trial version for my (relatively) expensive app because
I was relying on the 24 hour refund period so I'm going to
No offense, but the fact that you don't have a trial app is a really a
bit tricking people into buying the app. A large percentage of people
are too timid, don't know, procrastinate, etc, to get a refund. I
think if you have an expensive app, it's almost mandatory to have some

By the way, the 15 mins is the standard Google Checkout refund
policy. If you buy anything using Google Checkout, you have 15 mins
to change your mind. In effect, Google is not sending your order
onto the vendor for 15 minutes. So Google just took away the special
treatment for Android App
My issue is that all the changes are cosmetic. After 2 years they
still haven't improved the actual buying experience for users. Orders
are declined, downloads won't start, and users have no idea what to
do.

Yeah, I agree. Do we know if the 15 minutes starts from (a) the moment
the buyer has purchased (and not yet downloaded) or (b) the moment
they *successfully* download the app for the first time..?

If it's anything like buying anything else using Google Checkout, the
user will get their e-mail and at that moment the 15 mins starts. I
don't think it will have anything to do with the actual download
success.
I think Google would have done away with refiunds completely, had the

Heh, I was just thinking that earlier. Used to be it was 'great,

I agree... I find the change in trial period a step backward.

Are you actually allowed to do that in the Market?
For some reason I thought there were usage rules against doing that...
Not that I have much sympathy for Google in that regard because there
are problems here that should have been fixed a long time ago.
