        When the application is installed, you can touch the notification to open the
        application, or open it by touching its icon in the Launcher.
        You typically have a short while to try out an application and, if you decide you
        don’t want it, to uninstall it for a refund.If you have another Android phone, you can download a paid application to that phone using the same Android Market account, at no additional charge.


      Create a Google Checkout account

      You can pay for the items you purchase from Android Market with a Google Checkout
      account.

      • In a web browser, go to http://checkout.google.com to establish a Google Checkout account.
        OR
      • The first time you use your phone to buy an item from Android Market, when you’re prompted to enter your billing information, you can set up a Google Checkout account.

      Warning! When you’ve used Google Checkout once to purchase an application from Android Market, the phone remembers your password, so you don’t need to enter it the next time. For this reason, you should secure your phone to prevent others from using it
      without your permission.


      Uninstall an application

      • You can uninstall applications you downloaded from Market using Market. You can
        also uninstall applications you downloaded from Market and from other locations in the Settings application’s Manage Applications screen.

      4. Touch OK in the confirmation dialog.
      5. Touch the explanation that best matches why you’re uninstalling and touch OK.
        The application is uninstalled. You can install the application again at any time,
        without charge if it was a paid application.


      Request a refund for an application

      If you are not satisfied with an application, you can typically ask for a refund within a
      short time after your purchase. The actual amount of time you have to request a
      refund is stated in the receipt you received by email, and you can also contact the
      developer as detailed in the application's details screen. Your credit card is not charged and the application is uninstalled from your phone.

      refund a second time.
