As we figured out the tablet worked when I took it to the UK; the Play store showed everything for sale and I could purchase apps. Luckily, when I went back to Guernsey it continued to work, so I guess whatever happened solved the problem!

Thanks for the help!

So I came back to the UK today...





Google must hate Guernsey! Should I report the problem anyway?

My card is a Visa Debit :/

#4319215 is my issue "only seeing free apps in the Play store" but it says as of August 2012 there's no fix. Seriously?

What's tunnelbear?

Thanks

Damn 

What's the best way to contact them? I read a fair bit that their customer service is terrible...

I am stumped. Anything I have read about the issue seems to get resolved by deleting the account off the nexus and reinstalling. Weird.

You mean the whole account? How do I do that?

Thanks

Have you tried adding a different Google account to the play store? With a creditcard?
On a side note..I have read that if you remove the account and then redo the process it should work.

I tried re-adding my account with no luck. Can't remove an account.

Google Play detects that you are in a location where you cannot buy anything on Google Play.  There isn't anything you can do about it unless you find an app that spoofs your location (check out Tunnelbear).  My Nexus 7 works fine in the US but I cannot buy anything in some other countries.

My debit card is still active and surely I should be able to purchase stuff from the UK? I had an Android phone a few months ago and was able to buy apps from the Play store.

I'll give Tunnelbear a try.

No, this is my exact point - there are no paid apps in my play store. You can see on my screenshots how there's no option to swipe to "Top Paid Apps" or anything. They are not in the Play store.

Don't you just connect to internet thru a proxy?

Sorry?

I've done a little bit of research and discovered Google Wallet is only available in the US, so it makes sense why I can't get the app, but online when I went to wallet.google.com, my Google account is there and the credit card I used to pay for apps on my old android phone is still there. The card is still active.

There seems to be no settings/options in the Play store that allows you to change/choose payment methods and no settings or options ON my Nexus that will allow me to do the same.

Its a weird problem. The Play store works fine, but the paid apps are just not there.
