Una de las víctimas de esta medida es Mariano Zorrilla, uno más de los desarrolladores que nos contactaron y tienen que dar de baja sus aplicaciones de pago a lo largo de los próximos 30 días. Él es uno -como tantos otros- de los que han recibido el correo de Google informándoles sin dar explicación alguna. Correo, de hecho, enviado un viernes a las 20.00 h de Argentina, movimiento nada casual, sino escogido para restarle visibilidad. En el mismo correo, aparte del fin de los pagos de Google Play en Argentina, se informa de que el último envío de pagos acumulados hasta la fecha del 'apagón' tendrá lugar el 22 de julio. Curiosamente, Google AdSense para celulares sí continúa funcionando, lo cual deja más todavía en el aire esta extraña actuación, aunque se podría señalar como sospechoso el tipo de cambio a dólares.

We are writing to you today to inform you that Google Play will no longer be able to accept payments on behalf of developers registered in Argentina starting June 27, 2013. Developers based in Argentina may continue to offer free applications in the Google Play store. All applications requiring the billing permission as well as in-app products will be unpublished from the Google Play store on June 27, 2013. A payout for your earnings through this time will be made on July 22, 2013. If your accumulated earnings at that time do not meet the payout threshold, you may close your linked AdSense account to receive a final payment.

If you are legally able to do business in one of the other supported countries and otherwise satisfy the Google Wallet Terms of Service for that country, you may register for a Google Wallet Merchant Center account in that country and transfer your applications to it. To review the Google Wallet Merchant Center account Terms of Service, go to this link:

You would need new Google Play Developer account to tie to your new Merchant account. To learn more about creating new Google Play Developer account and transferring your applications, please visit our Help Center at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/139626

If you have any questions, please contact Google Checkout Merchant team at https://support.google.com/payments/?hl=en#topic=3091397&ts=3126357&contact=1

We hope to restore payouts to developers based in Argentina in the future. While no specific plans are in place at the moment, we are looking forward to restoring this service, and we will make sure to notify you once payouts to developers based in Argentina are restored.

Regards,
The Google Play Team
