Android "Payment method declined" for each payment method

I am trying to implement billing in an application using Android, but I am getting a strange error and I can not find anyone on the network with a similar problem.

I have done the following:

  • An APK is loaded with billing permission for the developer console as alpha build.
  • A Google testing group has been added, with my personal Gmail account as a member.
  • Went to choosing a URL and became a tester.
  • Added a personal gmail account to the account included for testing (in settings> account information).
  • Created a product without consumption and set it as "active".
  • 24 hours expected.
  • Put the signed version of the release on your phone.

When I click on the "Buy" button, a store dialog box opens, which says: "This is a test order from which you will not pay." Everything seems good so far, but each payment method says: "This payment method has been declined." therefore, I cannot continue. This includes a Google Play balance, an Amex card, Visa and PayPal.

I tried the following: none of them worked:

  • Used a different google account for test payments.
  • Removed my account from the list of test accounts in the settings of the developer console to try to use it with "real" transactions.
  • I tried another device.
  • I tried to create another product.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

Google Support reported that the error was caused by the seller’s account being “pending.” They study the reasons for the review and try to solve the problem. I will answer this answer with the final answer.

The best advice is to contact Google support through the seller’s mall: https://support.google.com/merchants

Refresh . Google set up an account and started working right away. You definitely need to contact them to sort them.
