Comment on Tell HN: Google Pay suspended account and it affected Google Play dev accountparent

Comments

Unfortunately, this is when the gravity of the situation became apparent to us. We thought verifying our Google Pay account would be quick and not adversely affect anything outside of Google Pay.

That seems like an entirely reasonable expectation to me. Think this isn't the first horror story I've read on here, though, where they interlinked the services such that activity on something completely unrelated messed up someone's business, or where a glitch for one service invalidated another. They usually get reported as cleared up in an update after support finally takes notice, but brand damage is a thing and sounds like you're catching some.

What a way to kick off a weekend. Sorry to hear it.
