title: Unable to link Google Play Developer Account to Google Checkout
body: <p>I am a Singapore based developer and my company (Singapore Company) has registered as a Google Play Developer.</p>
  
  <p>According to Google (https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=150324&amp;topic=15867&amp;ctx=topic and <a href="http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=113468" rel="nofollow">http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=113468</a>) I am entitled to sell paid applications on Google Play, because my country, Singapore, is listed there.</p>
  
  <p>The instructions clearly state that:</p>
  
  <p>1) The Google Checkout account which I need to link to your Google Play developer account can only be linked once from within the developer account interface.</p>
  
  <p>2) If you're interested in selling priced applications, you'll need to be registered as a Google Checkout Merchant as well. To do this from Google Play publisher site, I need to Log into my  Google Play Android Developer Console at <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/</a>, Click on the "Edit profile" link, and Select "Setup a Merchant Account at Google Checkout.</p>
  
  <p><strong>However, when I log into my Google Play Developer console and click "edit profile" I don't see any link to allow me to link my Google Play developer account to Google Checkout. Nor do I see an option to create a new checkout account and then link it</strong>. If I try to set up a Google checkout account independently, i.e. a "classic" checkout account, it only gives me 2 countries as an option - UK &amp; USA (neither of which is where my company is located).</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how I can get around this? I emailed Google Play support, but surprise surprise they haven't been able to solve this for me.</p>
  
  <p>I am physically NOT located in Singapore at the moment - and I've tried logging in from a  US IP as well as from a non-US (but also non-Singapore) IP and neither of those did the trick.</p>
  
  <p>I am DESPERATE - I have two apps ready to upload but have been unable to publish them because they are not meant to be free. I have tried everything I can think of to link my Google Play developer account with a new Google Checkout account but have been unable to do so.</p>
