Google Play Q&A

Why is selling a developer account a bad idea?

Because there's no clean way to do it. Selling means sharing a full Google login — Gmail, Photos, Contacts and more. Even deleted data can be recovered, and the original owner can reclaim the account at any time, taking your apps with them.

Own a Google Play developer account?

ConsoleMint is an app monetization company: it builds Android apps, publishes them, maintains them and monetizes them with in-app advertising, then shares the ad revenue with the publishing partner whose Google Play account distributes them. Developer-role access only — never owner access, never a password — revocable with 30 days notice.
