Google Checkout does not create a merchant account for Indians and a Google Checkout merchant account seems mandatory in order to sell on the Android Market.
What's the way out? Is opening a US bank account the only option?
Thanks! Looking into that thread, helpful. mini-industry indeed. I just don't get the fact how a company like Google is finding it difficult to allow Indian developers to see their apps in the Android Market. More so because Google has offices in India!
Even more funny is that Indian developers can sell apps in Apple Store. If Google is in a mindshare battle for mobile devs, ignoring Indian devs is a dumb, dumb move.
