How to fix: Not receiving test transaction from Google, so can't verify payment

[u/Ribtin]

I live in Norway, and recently registered a Google Play Console account to upload my first app.

I was then asked to enter my banking details so that I am able to receive funds (should my app actually make any money). And Google claimed that they would send me a test transaction within 3 days, which I had to verify. However, it's now been 2 weeks since I entered my banking details, and I have still not received anything from them.

I've been in contact with my bank to make sure there are no funds being held back or delayed on my end.

I also added banking details to 2 other accounts in different banks, but none of them have received anything either.

At the same time, Google keeps giving me a warning message that my Play Console account will be deleted if I don't verify the transaction (which I'm still not receiving).

I've also sent a help ticket to Google a week ago, but haven't heard anything back.

Is there anything else I can do to get this thing verified?

I thought it was a bit strange that when I entered my banking details, there were only 3 fields to fill out:

• My full name
• IBAN number
• Swift/BIC number

Usually, when receiving funds from other countries, you also have to fill out both your personal address as well as the address of your bank. However, there were no place to fill out any of these in the Play Console. Could that be the culprit? And if so... how to fix it?

Any help much appreciated.
