Actually, I also had the feeling that they were fixing something internally and that's why faxes would get "missing" and week long no replies. Whatever it is - it seems to be fixed now.

I can tell you something - absolutely do not quit your job till you are making $3000 in sales. The Apple iTunes store is a very very fickle baby. It's like a wild horse that is always bucking and trying to throw you off, and to stay on you

Actually, the real reason I don't want to tell the app is that it's linked to my name rather obviously, and I don't want people to know that I was that broke.

It's in the FAQ somewhere. It's a standard practise I believe. You just need to email someone and they convert it, assuming you have the papers.

Not relevant. I'm not doing this for PR.

It's easy to be forgiving when you have $15.000 in the bank :)

Well, there are two things you can do to be the inside on Apple: 1. Get the number of a reviewer. If you have been publishing apps for a while they will call you and give you their number 2. Get the number and email address of one of the hi

Sure. I wanted limited liability, and England is the only Euro country where you do not need to put out €10.000 or so to have such a company. It's also very fast and cheap, and all can be done via internet. Seemed like a good idea at the ti

You can't setup a business bank account with an english ltd if one of the directors does not live in england. I checked that option already, england is not too far.

I do have an english LTD. I cannot sit down with the bank, because it is a private account. I cannot make a business account because the english ltd is not recognized.

The UK business was registered. Over the internet.

Ehh, I think that would be a bad decision on my part. That's selling a birthright for a bowl of soup.

Bank Form: Account Holder: Account Number: Routing Code: I filled out the form correctly. But Apple does not use whatever you specify as "account holder". They use the company name.

You misunderstand. The company is a real UK limited. They can be setup over the internet. It's registered and real. I can setup a company over the internet, but not a bank account.

I'm more interested in getting the money out in a timely manner than in borrowing money from anyone. If it came to that, I can ask friends to give me some more money.

I have no intention of asking anyone here for money (for precisely this reason) and will not accept any offers.

This issue was something that was above their level.

The bank account is a private account that needs an ID. I also tried to setup a business account with the legal name, but they did not accept the UK company, as it is not registered in my home country. So I decided to simply setup a new com
