Solution to Not-Yet-Supported Country for Android Market Merchandise [closed]

Question

I wish to sell paid applications via Android Market, however my country (Slovakia) is not in the list of entitled countries(http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=150324).

Could I temporarily overcome this limitation by getting a bank account and a paycard from a bank within the country(Austria in my case) entitled for Android Market merchandise?

Do you know, whether the Android Market merchants are allowed to use the store based on the location of their bank, their residence encoded in the card, or the internet connection location?

Solving this would help many others wishing to distribute paid apps but their country has not yet been allowed for Android Market merchandise.

Answer 1

I think technically you could just open a bank account in an entitled country, lie about your address and use that to take payments, but there might be legal issues around this.

What could be a solution is to open a company too and register that legal entity as a developer, but unless you anticipate massive sales this might be a bit too much effort, even with all the administration easing you get if you do it in an other EU country.

Answer 2

There is really no direct way to sell apps on Android Market if your country is not listed there. However, you can check out www.androidconnector.com, a US based company that will help you with just that.
