Hi,
I have a gift card balance and im lacking 2$ on it to make a purchase. So i thought about adding my credit card to pay for those 2$ (i don't pay bank fees on this), but it seems to only allow me to use one or the other, not a combination of both. Am i missing something here? Is there a way to do this or google doesn't allow it?
Thanks!

I don't have paypal and am having grief setting up a pay-as-you-go credit card for Google Play and I want to donate to the developers who without which I wouldn't have been able to unlock my phone and or learn about programming Android devices (apps, ROMS, etc...) so that I can one day do the same as them. I didn't have the money to be about to donate before and now I have a few bux I wanted to give them some for all their hard work and because I believe in they way they do what they erm do. Sorry about the cliche am tired. lol Anywho thanks for any help. And short of contacting them individually I don't know what to do about it.:crying:
in my country you can buy some legal paypal funds..
do you at least have a debit card cuz you can donate via paypal even if you don't have an account, you just need a debit card or you can buy one of those prepaid visa or mastercard in a supermarket, pharmacy, etc.

I do have a debit card and it's also a pay-as-you-go VISA but it doesn't work for Google play or any of the places online that I have tried to use it. Ironically it is why I got it in the first place. lol. I don't have PayPal account. I sold something on eBay and was naive and skimped on cheaper shipping without a tracking number, and because the buyer said he didn't get the item they sided in his favor, so I can't use them. I have a friend that buys parts/etc for me on eBay for me but that doesn't help for Google play and buying/donating to apps. I am in Canada so if you know of a prepaid visa or service I can use to load my Google play account please let me know and I will get it. That way I can get the donate keys for the apps and pay for the XDA app etc...
1st of all please apologies me if i post in wrong thread, I an new here.
I have recently made an icon theme for nova/apex/adw launcher.
I am student and have no credit card neither bank account to pay play store 25$ first time fee.
I wanted to ask someone who already has google play publisher account can also post my app for 1.99$ and after few months he could return my money i earn from my app?
Even though I can't help you with this, I do advise that you do background check of the dev...
And whatever dev you choose, it shall be at your own risk as XDA will not be able to help you in money matters...

I totally agree with you, money even makes most honest man blind but i also have no other option .
I would strongly advise against this. Are you able to use a pre-paid credit card?

I know its not a good and trusted way but as i said above i also have no other option and no i am not able to use pre-paid credit card.
As a "student", how old are you ?
Are you located outside of the United States of America ?
If you're in the USA, just get a bank account - many, many bank accounts are completely and absolutely free. I know that a segment of the US population does manage to get by without a bank account - but not having one is COSTING you money in check cashing fees and the like.
I'm not a rich person and I come from a family that was below the poverty line for many years - yet I've had a bank account since I was nine years old. My parents wouldn't have signed me up for one if it had cost money.
Go to a bank or credit union - ask about a free checking account. Get one.
If you are under 18, your parents or any other person over 18 who trusts you not to bounce cheques can help you get a bank account. Or give your parents the $25 and use their account or do chores or something.
If you are outside the USA, refer to whatever procedures are in your country. I have to be skeptical that you could be in a country where you can access reliable computing and internet but not be able to open a bank account (you can even do this on-line these days - and you can cash cheques with some bank's mobile apps - so it's possible to even circumvent location from a physical branch as a factor in being able to open one). I'm sure it's possible, somewhere, but I find it difficult to believe.
I mean, if this developer is going to give you the money less the initial $25... how were they going to send it to you ? Letters can be lost in the mail legitimately. If they are going to write you a personal cheque... how are you going to deposit it ? What if your theme doesn't sell that well and you end up paying WAL*MART just to give you whatever's left ?
Is this developer supposed to keep writing you cheques as long as the app is being sold ?
Are you going to give THEM a cut for doing this ? They'd have to pay postage, after all. Or at the least spend time out of their day to pay you your likely small beans - when they could be running their own business.
Who's going to do that ?
Solution : Get a bank account. Deposit money.
Other Solution : Get a friend or someone you actually know to help you set up a bank account and/or loan you $25.

I live outside USA and im at the moment 15. A friend of me who lives in uk (thought we are friends for 3 years) he agreed to create publisher account for me, but after he went to register he said it has only credit card method and i never use credit card but only paypal for online shopping, so he disagreed to create.So i was thinking someone honest could handle my app then the money i earn can be sent to his paypal account so he buy something for me and send it to me.I also have no honest friend on internet except him.If you think you are honest and can handle this then from my earning from app you can take 25$ or if you already has play publisher account then its great.

Are you able to get a prepaid debit card (like one of those Visa gift cards or similar) in your country? Don't quote me on this, but I believe you may be able to use one of those (and you won't need a bank account or heck even an ID to buy one). Let me know if that's a viable option for you, as I have a few friends whom are also in similar situations.
I'm unsure if this is the best place for this thread, so move if needed...
Just before getting my Nexus 7, my wife and I finally paid off all our credit cards and got rid of them all. I expected that if I wanted to purchase something from the Play Store, I could simply use a prepaid Visa/Mastercard (I don't purchase many apps, so I can deal with silly fees on these things).
Anyway, I've had various friends tell me that they've never been able to get these to work on the store. So, I'm asking you....do you know of any prepaid cards that will work on the Play Store in Canada?
Thanks.
Not sure about the "Gift" type of prepaid cards work, but I have a Visa Titanium (pre-paid, reloadable) from MoneyMart that I use for online shopping and I can confirm that it works with the Play Store.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
I use Mastercard Vanilla cards (prepaid) and then just register them to the USA.
Believe it or not, 90210 counts as a valid zip code! (like the show haha)
Anyways, register it on the Mastercard Site, (just Google Mastercard vanilla) and then go to the play store, add funds and enter the card number.
Works for me like a charm, hopefully works for you!

Welp, decided to answer my own question.
I picked up a $25.00 Visa Gift Card from my local grocery store, and it works perfectly.
All that's needed is to register the card with your name and address on the issuer's site. Google then allowed the card to be added in Wallet easily.
The one I purchased had a $3.95 upfront fee and no other fees after that. So, that's fair enough in my book.

Hey there i have a question wish someone help me. In my country google play gift card isn't available. Can anyone tell me how can i buy google play gift card? Also can buy steam or origin key? Any online store or trusted seller? Please kindly help. Thanks in advance
Hi, I guess that if you can't buy it phisically in a store the alternative would be to look for online resellers and buy the digital code from there (don't know which websites are reliable tho).
But this would be an option only if you want to give the code as a gift, otherwise there is no point in buying a card with a credit card when you can use it directly in the play store itself.
