In app purchases not working

[Guest targetbsp]

I'm trying to buy the expansion for Where's My Water and the checkout is just coming back with "took too long to deliver"

It seems to be a fairly common error with no solution according to a google search! I was wondering if anyone had successfully done one and what rom/market combination it was in? I'm using CM7 with market 3.4.4 and normal purchases from the market are fine.

I know there are issues with some market purchases. There was a news story on here about a week ago about it. The Guy that developed cwm brought it to widespread attention as he and others felt that Google weren't addressing the issues.

it involved payments being taken but the market would time out so the buyer didn't get the app and left bad feedback thinking it was the devs fault.

I would contact the developer and see can you do a workaround to get it.

Yeah most of what I've read about it have been developers complaining about how it's hurting their sales and rep! Unfortunately, somehow I doubt being able to get hold of the right someone at Disney who's able to set me up with a workaround. :( Still, I may as well drop them an email I guess!

Huh! I tried it again today before emailing them and it just worked. I'd made over 10 previous attempts to buy it over the past 2 days!!

Well done. Its hard enough getting people to part with money but to want to buy something and not be able to must be annoying.

Google need to get their act together. Youtube has been giving problems for months with the latest app and I have read off issues with the latest google search also.
