In-App Billing not available

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Upload an application draft to android market, which uses the in-app billing 
permission.
2. I want to create in-app purchase products, but there is the ugly message: 
"Sorry, applications with the BILLING permission cannot be published at this 
time."
3. Now what? 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want to CREATE in-app billing products, but I can't 'cause it shows me this 
unexpressive message.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Android 1.6 and 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I don't have any. It seems to be a Google service malfunction.

In-App Billing is currently only available as a developer preview. Until the 
consumer launch, you will get this error when you try to publish an application 
that requests the BILLING permission.

Please keep an eye on the Android Developer Blog for launch information, when 
it becomes available.

Working as intended.

Sure that makes sense, but how do we add test in-app products?  That 
functionality which is supposed to be allowed for draft apps seems to also be 
disabled.
