Common issues

If you have an issue, make sure that you can answer to theses questions:
Did you create your item in the Developer Console?
Is the id for your item the same in the Developer Console and in your app?
Is your item active? Have you uploaded and published your apk in the alpha or beta channels? You can no longer test in app purchases with an apk in draft mode. Have you waited at least a few hours since you activated your item and published your apk on the Developer Console?
Are you using a different Google account than your developer account to make the purchase? Is the Google account part of a google+ community or group that you invited in the alpha or beta channel? Using the Google account, did you follow the link that appears in the channel where you published your apk, and accept the invitation to test? Are you testing on a real device, rather than the emulator?
Are you using a signed apk?
Is the version code of your app the same as the one uploaded on the Developer Console?

If any of these questions is answered with a "no", you probably need to fix that.
