Hello community, I am facing big issues with my main account that I use to buy my applications on Google Play. Recently I had to open a second account because Google wasn't able to process my credit card using my first account.
I've been sending emails to the creators of the applications that I bought with my main account to see if we can make a transfer of the applications to my second account, the answer was that I could get a refund within my first account so I could buy again the application from my second account.
The issue I'm facing right now is that whenever I place a purchase from my second account and I reinstall the application my smartphone will try to get the license from my first account instead of getting the license for the application from my second account on Google Play.
how can I fix this?
I've erased all trace of the applications from my first account, and yet, despite the fact that I have been getting refunds from the creators, I can't get the new license from Google play within my second account.
Help me please!

So I am wondering how my new GT will work with my one google account and my Evo.
For example, when I fist started up the GT it asked if I wanted to sync my google account, which I did. I then noticed that it put a bunch of my existing apps from my Evo onto my GT. So I now assume that any app that I have purchased on Evo in my Google account can be installed on my GT & Evo, is this correct?
Are there any disadvantages to using the same google/gmail account on both my GT and Evo? I would hope that using one account on both devices would mesh well and not cause any issues.
I was then also wondering if I should setup a new google/gmail account and leave my gmail account off just in case I let my wife/daughter use the GT. At first I liked the idea of using one account on both but now maybe not, but then I would have to buy all new apps again?
Guess I am just looking for some opinions/ideas on a good way to use both my Evo and GT together.
Thanks
Using one google account between both of your devices won't cause any problem whatsoever. I've been using the same google account on my phone and my tab (first 7" and now 10.1") for about 6 months without issue.
The Android Market (and Amazon App Store) track by both account and by device. I've managed my Evo and two Tabs under the same Gmail account without any issues.
Its the best way to do it. I have a personal email address "****@zakeen.com" that I send through gmail account and I use the gmail program on all my devices.
I was at the airport waiting for someone to come out and I had my phone there, I was writing an email to someone and the person I was waiting for came out, I just turned my phone off. It saves it automatically in the draft folder and later arriving at the hotel I turned my Tablet on and the email I half wrote was on the top of the Gmail account and I just had to finish the last sentence and send it. Did not have to go back to the same device.
Also I think for the future it will be better, like renting movies and that. I dont know much about it but I am sure it will be linked to account then rather device. So you have access to all your things related to your account for easy syncing.
Its all in the cloud. You could have your singular google account synced across as many devices as you'd like I think. If you go to market.android.com you can choose which device you install apps on.
Thanks for the responses everyone, it def seems best to just use one google account. Unless of course you don't want your significant other to see your emails and gtalk messages. Not that I have anything to hide!
Oh yeah, what about GTalk? Will IMs go to both the phone and GT or is that only one login at a time?
You could definitely have IMs go to both devices simultaneously if you're logged in on both.
Dear all,
I used my gmail account to help a friend setup his new phone.
Then he added his own account to the phone afterwards.
Now, he wanna buy apps with his own account but it seems that the Play Store only allow him to make payment with my account.
Is there any method to do that? Or he must reset his phone to do so?
Please kindly comment. Thanks!
any idea please? thanks a lot
Just tested this a few minutes ago: simply add the new account (his account in this case) and it should default pay with this. If not, click menu in the play store and choose accounts and choose account here. Hope this helps.

I have two Google accounts that I use on my phone. One is just used for purchases and the other is for a personal email. So my issue is I bought this app to unlock the full version under one account, the one I use for my purchases, but to do this I had to remove my personal email account. After adding that account back, the app tries to use the Google play account I just use for email and says that I need to purchase the app to unlock the full version. Anybody have any idea how to fix this without permanently removing one account?

Why not just remove the email account from the phone and use the paid account for your phone, launch the Gmail app and then add the email account. That will pretty much do what you're wanting.

After readding the account it asks me to repurchase my iap. Somehow it defaults back to the other account as the default and since I purchased it on the other account it doesn't verify that I've bought it.
So far I've viewed a few threads with similar issues, but no solutions. I've found one, but it requires root. Remove the account, buy the app, make a tib, add the account, and then restore the tib
I don't use the Gmail app anyways, but I have had some past purchases on my other account that always end up having the apps trial period expire and say I don't own the app.

It sounds like you need to delete both accounts, along with the purchased apps and then only add the account you buy apps pin back to the phone and reinstall your apps. You should probably clear all Play Store and Google Services Framework data.
Then if you want the email back add it in only the Gmail app.

Yeah, but like I said I keep having issues with power amp when I do it that way since I bought that a long time ago on my old DROID on that account. It keeps defaulting back to trial. I think this case is unique since it was an iap. Every time I add that account back it gets reattached since I initially downloaded off the dummy account. When I couldn't get the account to change for the purchase, I deleted my dummy Gmail account and bought it. I guess I could just cough up money and buy power amp again lol.

Well the way I understand is you are adding them both to the phone instead of just adding one to the phone and then going in Gmail and adding the email account there.
If I am wrong maybe you need to contact Google and explain the issue and see if they have a fix.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is I need both added otherwise power amp always results back to the trial app stating they can't verify my license. Anyways, the tib method worked for me.
Im sorry if i write a lil to wrong thread, but anyway,
i wanna cancel my google play developer account in reason because i can't get payments from them. theres no way to set up merchant account properly with my country bank.
I asked google to close my account and refund, however... i have uploaded one TEST app. witch is nothing. but google wont allow me to delete that app. and thats why they wont refund.
they respond:
"We would like to offer a solution, however. If you are able to find another Android developer to buy or otherwise receive your apps, we will be happy to transfer the apps to the another Developer Console account. Once your Developer Console account no longer has any apps associated with it, we can close the account and issue you a refund"
so, is there someone here who would gladly help and allow google to transfer one test app from my account to his acc? so my acc would have ZERO apps instead of this one test app now. and then i could get my refund :fingers-crossed:
Greetings,
I recently purchased the Nexus 9 and have setup two different users, one for me and one for my wife. I have my account setup with my Google account and her account setup with her Google account. We both use a recipe managing app that costs money for doing our shopping. I have paid for and installed the recipe manager app on my account, but when I switch to her account and go to the Play Store it's asking me to pay for the app again.
Does android provide a way around having to pay for this app twice? I'm sure I'm missing something here.
