Unless there's more to it, they're just changing what day of the month they cut the checks... so you get paid just as often, just as fast. What's the complaint?
- btilly 14y agoWhere do you get "just as fast" from? My understanding of the letter is that you used to get paid for a month 2 days after the end of the month, now you get paid for that month 15 days after the end. I would assume that this smoothes out chargebacks for Google. But by no means is the merchant better off.
- dangrossman 14y agoYou get 30 days worth of revenue every 30 days. If Google Play is an important income stream for you, your cash flow is unchanged... unless, as you say, you're attempting to scam people and need to get paid before chargebacks come in. It doesn't sound like something to post an expletive-filled SHOUTING rant on HN about to me.
- btilly 14y agoOver the next 10 weeks you'll get paid what you'd have expected to receive over the next 8. That's like losing 20% of your run rate for two and a half months. (Not to mention that if you've got specific bills you're expecting to pay with that money, you may run out.) That's not a small delta in cash flow, and I could easily see learning about that on short notice causing serious problems for people.
