Purchases Android / / December 19, 2019
If after buying applications (games) on Google Play you return it within 15 minutes, we will refund you the cost in full.
Help Google Play
So, you click "Buy" button. Now you have a half a dozen minutes on the return of their funds. In 15 minutes you need to download cFosSpeed, install it, configure and test in the field. It would seem enough. But from my own experience I can say that not always.
In this article you will learn how to get their money dollars wasted on not worth it soft, even after the very marginal quarters of an hour.
Theory
But first, I would like to explain why the time allotted for a refund, are often lacking.
The size of downloaded data
Have you ever faced with toys, the size of which may raise an eyebrow in surprise? Yes, there are not many, but they are. Imagine you decide to thoroughly play, but you need to download hundreds of megabytes of APK-file. It seems to be no problem, but it must be done without dropping the line, which sometimes is difficult.
It goes long, and therefore afraid to buy. But only at first glance. I hasten to please you. According to unconfirmed reports, Google starts a timer from the moment of payment of the purchaseAnd immediately after successful installation of acquisition. This is correct and logical. Otherwise I would have to get into the 15-minute window at times it would be extremely problematic.
But I would like to focus on a different nuance. Some applications, such as video players and players podcasts require additional time to complete testing of their inherent features. Think just for instance, how long will leave you to pump a movie or podcast, followed by adjusting to your needs? Most likely, a small business will be delayed. And here we are faced with the problem of the quality of communication and the volume of data transmitted.
bugs
We found a cool utility while riding on public transportation? Great! We bought, installed, but it's time to go. As a general rule, try purchasing in no longer work. And in the evening it turns out that the performance of the zero applications. Either you corny vtyuhali beautiful cover, or there is an incompatibility with your handset or not the developer has optimized its creation on the subject of energy efficiency. Money down the drain.
Practice
How to be? Do not purchase anything at all? Buy! Always worth to reward good work development, increasing competition from Google Play. But how to break the bonds of 15 minutes? Just!
You can get your money back within two hours!
It was two full turns clockwise behind the scenes are assigned to the buyer to withdraw funds. Yes, it is contrary to the official position of the purchases, but it works. And almost no one knows about it.
Many users of Google Play reset button remains active much longer than the period prescribed. Why? It is not known, because official comment from Google on this account no.
Learning of this nuance in the "bourgeois" forum, I thought that trick works only for the civilized West. But no! I conducted an experiment confirmed the extension of the right and on the wild East. For example, for the purchase of a beautiful calculator Numix 22:30 I have successfully returned the full cost of the app at midnight.
Why is that? Let's estimate.
- The increase in the return time may be in the testing phase.
- The second possible reason - loyalty to certain users. For example, for those who spend much time on Google Play, download a lot and do not abuse the returns.
- The rule may not apply to certain categories of applications. For example, at the same toys.
- Google is trying to go to meet our wallets, promising them safety in unpleasant situations. The logic is simple: bad buy is unlikely to cause more desire to buy anything.
By the way, if you are lucky enough and the back button to quickly disappear or you simply did not meet the two-hour frame, you can try to recapture the money already in the developer himself.
Contact details of each author are available on the purchase page. You can describe in detail the existing problems, to support his request for screenshots and wait for a response. Man to man hatred, therefore, to ensure the success of this event is not necessary, but always there is a chance. Foreign authors exactly care about his name, and quite willing to transfer the money back.
conclusion
Concluding the review, I want to give you a couple of tips.
Remember to return the application (game) only once. If you decide to purchase it again, a refund will be impossible. These are the words of help.
All that is over the top, then the harm. Do not lose your sense of proportion, indulging in an application for a couple hours and continuously withdrawing the payment. Most likely, the dynamic diagram, and your great enthusiasm to request a refund through a couple of times will reduce time to standard values.
