Dumb question.. Why can I not buy Beautiful Widgets? - Vibrant General

For whatever reason when I try to buy Beautiful Widgets off of the market, it has all payment options greyed out.
I can't use a credit card, I can't bill to my account, nothing.. It has done this for about a month now and I figured I'd finally ask.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

What country are you in?

Last I heard, HTC threatened the maker with legal action due to the similarity between the Sense weather/clock widget and Beautiful Widgets'.
That might have something to do with it. I dunno.

Yeah Thats True But They Cleared That Up.
To The OP I Have No Clue? Reboot The Phone And Try Again? It Let Me See My Options?

I just bought it yesterday. Could it be something with your google checkout?

Same issue for me. I can't seem to make it work. No payment options at all.

My AMEX is greyed out for some reason. I think there are issues with some credit cards not being valid with international orders.
I checked the AndApp store with no luck either, and I don't see any licensing available outside of the market for the app like with some other programs
Had the same problem trying to get Ultimate Juice too.

You are correct. You cannot place international orders with an AMEX. Beautiful Widgets is the reason I added a MC to my Google Checkout account.
If you aren't using AMEX, then you might want to contact them directly. My brother had a difficult time with the order going through for his Captivate and after several emails back and forth with them, was finally able to download it. It was apparently some problem with Google Checkout - but they weren't able to figure out exactly what. I think it was just a matter of trying multiple times over the course of a few days before it worked.

Same here.
Amex wouldn't allow a foreign transaction in Google Checkout. For me Mastercard appended a foreign fee of 0.05.

Paid apps finally here in the UK!

Woohoo, we finally have Paid Apps here in the UK.
I'm running the JF v1.43 RC9 and can see them no problems.
They are all in $ though .... anyone in the UK seeing them in £ instead?
Damn, after all the wait .... I can't access te paid apps with my GAFYD account!!!!
You can do it with google apps but it's a hack. If you also create a gmail account on your account, disable pop/imap on it, and forward everything to an alias* on your apps doman you can tell marketplace to use the gmail address and it'll work with (apparently) no issues.
* You need to forward to an alias because it won't let you forward to the primary address, as it thinks it's forwarding to itself.
hehe woke up this morning to see paid app's in the marketplace! was kinda happy till i looked through them all and found nothing of interest... I'm sure some nice things will be released in the near future.
I have an unlock g1 and i can still see the paid app's i herd all unlocked one's cant acces paid app's??? do u have to use a credit card or can i use a debit card?

Pacman FTW
(That's a free app but didn't appear until all the paid apps appeared, possibly because it's 'on offer' rather than being actually free).

It uses Google Checkout, so will work with whatever works with that. I use a debit card here but different countries will have different rules.

The price depends on the location of the dev. Google checkout should automatically do the correct exchange rate for you.

Here's the link they e-mailed to me to download the app on my Epic: http://amzn.to/getamazonappstore
You need an amazon.com account to use it, but if you've ever bought anything there you have one.
Anyone know if these apps will be available again for download if you have to reset your phone or get a new one?
I know that there is no refund policy with Amazons store, but wonder about spending money there and loosing them.

They should be attached to your Amazon.com account that you login with to access the App Store.

There is a "My Apps" section just like the Market has, so I would assume it will work the same.

Yep, I just had corrupt data yesterday and my backup was corrupt as well, needless to say I had to fully wipe and start over. When I logged into the amazon app store it knew what I had downloaded and offered to redownload them, no payment required.

Be Cautious of the market!!

Last night when I was buying an adw theme for my tablet, I noticed that instead of the 99 cents I want supposed to be charged, I was charged 99 dollars. I checked and apparently there were not one, but two 99 dollar charges made to my account. I'm currently in a dispute right now with google over this. So my advice is to ensure you check the charges made before the fifteen minutes is up to avoid the hassle I'm currently going through
Are you sure you haven't bought 100 ones
Oh I'm positive.... I'm looking at the confirmation email right now where it shows me being charged $99.00.
I'm not sure why I got double billed though.
Just wanted to make everyone aware of this, as I purchase stuff frequently and nothing like this has happened before.

Just go back to the market and take a screen shot of the page to keep on file and send a copy to google with your complaint and check the decimal point ie $099. or $0.99
just could be a mistake.

you sure know how to stay on-topic.....
and my poor attempt to stay on topic is this:
There is usually some contact information given with the app you bought. Just contact them, and i'm pretty sure it's all a misunderstanding. And yes, make sure you post a screenshot of it saying 99p

[Q] Two devices on one Google account - 2x25$ or 1x50$?

I have ordered two N7 and ticked to connect them with my Google user. The question is if I'll get 2x25$ for my Google account afert loging in at one device, or i have to do it on both. In the future i'm going to use two N7 for two different users.
I don't think so, these kinds of things are usually a once-per-user type deal.

I would suggest using another gmail account just in case so you don't lose the credit.

I hope all we're going to do is login on both devices for our Google account and the'll charge our wallet with 2x25$ which we will spend on one N7.
Questions go in the Q&A section
I really want to know the answer for this. Have two coming from Gamestop and don't want to lose the credit on one by doing the wrong thing.

I'm going to order 10 of these, apply all the GCs to my account and then sell 9 of the tablets. "Free" tablet ftw!

Because I live in Poland and they're not selling N7 in here and phone call to US and waiting 45min on hold would cost me more than 25$.

Ok
Sorry upfront i cant remember or find where i read this. Thou i know it was a credible source for the most part . I have read that goggle Jelly bean has a feature built into it . To attach a unique identifier from that device(guessing esn) to the market and apps purchased on that device and make them not available on other devices unless you re purchase them for each device you have. If this holds any truth. I would think the 25.00 credit would also be linked to such a standard. If in fact true you would have 25.00 for each tab. not a total of 50.00. But both tablets can link to the same google wallet account. As i use google wallet for may things other then APP Store. Same with my Pay Pal Debit card.I just find it safer.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but its interesting to really know if this holds any Truth. I have some not so cheap apps. I would SCREAM If they told me i had to re purchase them. because i buy a new device every year lately.

I highly doubt that that is true as it would make no sense to force users to buy the same app multiple times. Are you perhaps referring to the encryption of paid apps? That's to prevent piracy and cracking rather than the above stated purpose.
I activated my I/O & got the credit but when I activated the one from Gamestop, I didn't get the credit.
It would be prone to too much abuse, eh? Having multiple credits on one account. Theoretically, if you bought a tablet, activated it, returned it citing display problems, and repeat 7 more times, you'd have enough credits to receive a free Nexus 7 from the Play Store, no?
Unless I'm horrible mistaken, that's how I understand it.

The credits can only be used for digital content (except subscriptions)
But I'm assuming the rest of your post is probably correct.

Youtube purchases?

logged into youtube for the first time since using my Nexus 4, and it shows that i have 3 new purchases today. I have not made these purchases and can not find any charges on my credit card (that i use for online stuff) or my Wallet account. anyone else see this?
I know this is a stab in the dark, but worth a shot.
well, i found them, loks like my phone automatically snagged them in an update somewhere...
odd but free.
found in the play store order info screen along with some books and music...
Looks like they're doing what they did with the N7 I guess. N7 owners got transformers and some other junk like that for free.
I don't like the idea that the phone can do things like that without my permission. I mean if it can make purcases (that are free) what's to keep the same thing from happening for items that are not free?

Dude, they're just gifts from Google. Items that are automatically added to your account when you register a new Nexus device. The device didn't make any "purchases"--it didn't go out into the store and press buttons behind your back--these are just things that Google gifted into your account, and that's just how these gifts show up in your account, as so-called free "purchases" (they gotta show up somehow, right?).

How did you access your purchases on your nexus 4 in the youtube app ?
The way I did it was on the computer access the purchases then move those purchases to Favorites, then in the app, click on your profile then it should be there but only thing is that it says unsupported playback or something. What can I do to watch them on my phone?
