WHOA...Market refund window being reduced to 15 minutes?

...Why does everyone think they are entitled to their money back simply because the app was not as good as they thought?

Because that's standard consumer behavior, and a fundamental customer right. If a product is substandard, or doesn't do the job you bought it for you return it. Why is an app that you buy any different?

...Do you ask the manager at a fine restaurant for your money back if the meal "was not worth buying"?

If the food that comes to your table isn't what you ordered, or wasn't prepared properly, or was too salty, or didn't meet your expectations in some other way, you send it back. If they don't give satisfaction you leave without paying. Why is an app that you buy any different?

...15 minutes is plenty to see if you just download a spam application.

But not necessarily enough time to fully evaluate a legitimate app.

...Seriously, you're talking $2-3 here, it's not like you wasted a month's salary.

I don't know where your money comes from, but I work hard for mine, and no matter how much or how little something costs, I expect value for my dollar. Anytime you want to throw your $2-3 away, you can throw it in this direction.

This is a damn shame. I dunno what the hell they were thinking. There is NO justifiable reason to change it to 15 minutes. I don't care what anyone says, it's ridiculous. I completely understand the developers POV, but 15 minutes it pathetic At least a couple of hours, even 2 would be reasonable. But 15 effing minutes?! I've dropped almost $150 in apps. I will be spending a lot less money in the market after this nonsense. I don't care that an app may only cost 99 cents or a couple of bucks.. it's the principle. I can see this causing some issues real soon. This isn't going to sold app stealing, if anything its gonna make it worse!


Btw.... it's petition.. not partition lol..
