Is paypal legal to receive payment for an Android application in Turkey where Google's payment system is not supported?

Question

I have developed an Android app and I want to sell this app on Google Play, however I am in Turkey and the sales system is not supported by google in Turkey.

I want to know the answer to this question. Does Google allow me when I posted a purchase button that opens browsers and redirects to the PayPal payment page in my application? Does Google allow this? or Google removes my app from a Google game for illegal sale. The problem is what can I do to sell my application on Google Play.

Thanks for your valuable answers.

• Change 1

I find an application that uses PayPal services in its application and is placed in the category of free Google games, for example, this application , if it is not allowed, why do these applications still appear on the game store?

• Edit 2

I want to discuss my technique in my application.

• User downloads app from Google Play
• The application is designed for quick reading and has 12 levels.
• The user can use level 1 for free, as other others are blocked.
• If the user wants to use a different level, there is one that opens the page of my site.
• I place the deviceId of the phone or tablet, write it to my db and redirect the browser to the PayPal payment page, if the payment is successful, the PayPal page redirects the browser to my page to set the payment so that I can understand which device the payment has been made
• Then my server has an application that checks successful payments and sends a push message to the user device, that msg changes the application to the full version, the user can start using other levels without downloading the full version,

And my thoughts are, the user can use the application from the Google Play store for only one level, it is legal because the user can use it for free, I use my own servers for the payment mechanism, after payment my application in the user device turns into the full version without any any google gaming features. So it is legal. Think everything is legal.

Answer 1

Yes, it is legal. Uploading and charging for Google is much easier, as Google does the rest for you. You simply entered the price and cash flows into your bank account.

But, of course, you can also do it your own way, but for you it will be much more difficult. People who buy your application will not automatically update their application, as if they downloaded it from a Google game, you will have to manage all refunds, while Google does this automatically for you, you will probably have to send apk to people after their purchase, which means your application will be easier to crack.

It has flaws, but I'm almost 100% sure that this is legal.

EDIT: read the comments below, it's not as legal as I thought: p

Answer 2

In case this is not the case, you simply use the application, therefore it will be legal to have a non-national bank account into which it flows into and transfer these funds to your account in Turkey. In this case, you will pay tax twice, which is not too large for profit, but you do what you need, yes, good luck!

I read that only 18 countries can accept PayPal Payment, except for Google Wallet. But we still want to pay via PayPal.
