Merchant acount in android market

Question

I want to setup Google merchant account in android market for selling my apps. I am Indian and in the country dropdown India is not available. How can I create my merchant account, and can I use another account like paypal for selling apps?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If your country is not on the list of countries eligible for creating merchant account, you cannot publish paid apps, unfortunately. You will need to find different ways to monetize your application, which might be one of the following:

• As mentioned above, get a PayPal account and ask users for donations
• Sign up to ad-serving site (AdMob seem to be popular choice) and place a banner in your application.
• Implement in-app purchases in your own manner, independent from the Android Market in-app purchases.
