I've followed the steps to upload the In-App Billing Sample App as an unpublished, draft app on the Market for testing purposes. I have my google account set up as a Test Account under my Market credentials and was wondering if my credit card will actually be charged when I purchase the potion or sword?
I know that I should refund the purchase from my Google Checkout Merchant account but will it actually charge my card if I don't?

Even if people download an app for free, chances are it can still cost them something through in-app purchases. This is true for both App Store and Google Play users, prompting users to spend, whether it's for additional features, game add-ons, or subscriptions.
When you are testing in app purchases on Android, you must use a signed version of the app. Your Google Play email must be listed in the Google Play Console as a tester. The easiest way to do this is to publish your app to a Beta release with open testing.
Whether it's 15% or 30%, for apps obtained through the Google Play Store, developers are forced to use Google's in-app payment services. Android needs to be fully open to competition, with a genuinely level playing field among platform companies, app creators and service providers.
Okay, after actually trying it, my card is really charged. Just an fyi for anybody that was wondering. The four android.test.xxx product IDs are the only test transactions that are possible that won't use your real account info and card.
