Selling My App to Consumers

I have my App on Google Play, Amazon Android Marketplace, and from my own site. Someone from Russia bought one from Google Play, and minutes later cancelled. Can I assume that Google Play has some mechanism that disables the App? If the customer bought it with the intent to defraud: order, download, install, run, cancel payment. What would be strategies for me to be able to do that via BT Self-Hosted Control Panel, etc.?

After you buy an app from google play you have a certain window of time until you can cancel your order and get your money back. Its annoying.

No. They wouldn't get the app. However, I remember Google had a small blip with this a few years ago. For about two days, anyone who was refunded could still have the app. But two days later it was patched.

When a customer buys a download from me, from my site, then asks for refund, how to do disable it in turn?

You can't disable it from it being used if its from your site I guess. But perhaps you can prohibit refunds? You'll get very few that want to refund I suppose. I wouldn't worry about it. It is annoying but that is the game for some people.. But you'll have more customers that won't think of returning an app. Of course I don't know the price of your app but thats my opinion at least :)

in my opinion this is right.. as there are so many models and brands of smart devices with android , you can never be sure that your app will run as it should be in all of them.. recently i get a feedback from a user that uses my free version of my app asking if it will available (the pro version - paying ) for his device as one friend of him with the same device as he had , bought my pro version and never worked. So it is good for consumers can get their money back and avoid bad reports.
