In-app billing does not work when entering @googlemail.com addresses for test accounts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried to test In-app billing in my application. While I did read the whole 
documentation and I believed I did everything right, In-app purchase was not 
possible. It always said that the product was unavailable, even if it was 
correctly entered and published. My whole problem is described here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f242f74c7

Then I modified my test accounts on 
https://market.android.com/publish/editProfile to the corresponding @gmail 
addresses, and In-app billing suddenly started to work.

My suggestions to solve this issue:
 - Do not allow to enter @googlemail.com addresses as test accounts on https://market.android.com/publish/editProfile
 - OR: Allow to enter @googlemail.com addresses, but treat them as @gmail.com addresses internally

Thanks a lot for this awesome new Android feature! :-)

Please also note that some people use android with their "GApps for you 
Domain"-address (like me). Then there are no @gmail or @googlemail-adresses.

What will happpen in this case?

Tom: Hosted Google Apps accounts should work properly, assuming that they can 
be used with Market.

Unfortunately I can't easily reproduce this (I don't have a googlemail.com 
account), so any additional reports of this would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem with my googlemail.com account.

I had a similar issue. Testing an unpublished application did not work, 
resulting in a RESULT_ITEM_UNAVAILABLE response.

The phone used to test had two google accounts, one @gmail.com, and one 
GApps-for-domain address. The @gmail was the primary one (as identified by the 
market transaction dialog). But testing an unpublished app always resulted in a 
RESULT_ITEM_UNAVAILABLE response. Neither adding just the primary account, nor 
adding both accounts to the test accounts made a difference. The items were 
published.
Publishing the application solved the error, so it must be specific to the test 
accounts.

I have the same issue as JaapBeet (RESULT_ITEM_UNAVAILABLE for test accounts)
Why is this considered a low bug ? how are we expected to test unpublished apps 
?
