It's been two years and until yesterday, I was still able to use my Australian credit card to purchase apps in their USD price by setting a US billing address in Google Wallet. But today it failed. This means, I will no longer able to purchase US market-only apps in the future.... sad.

Last year it were all good, I can even buy music in this way (through VPN + Market Enabler). Since this year, I found Google has gradually blocked fake address non-US credit card from buying in US Play Store. And all market enabler apps have been removed from Play Store now.

I'm just wondering, at this stage, is there still any way to purchase in US store, in US dollar, if you don't have a US credit card? Many thanks!

btw, my Galaxy Nexus is rooted, and I still have a copy of market enabler app. Any comments will be appreciated.

update:

in Google Wallet, the error message saying like this. Is that possible this issue caused by other reason?

Google has cancelled your order. You won't be charged.
Reason: Took too long to deliver
Comments from Google: "auto cancelation"

I don't think there's a way. A legal way, at least.

Have you tried using on of those prepaid (online) creditcards?

If you want to buy a tablet from the store, get a US address via a service such as bundlebox.com and have it delivered there before shipping to your country.

I have the same issue, I already have access to the US Play Store using DroidVPN but when I tried to get the free stuff it gives me an error... I tried using the Paypal test cards and did not work for the free stuff.. have you been able to work this out?

Thanks!
