The Google Ads policy on the sale of free items and official services will change around April 19, 2013. The policy is changing to prohibit services that deceive users with the sale of free items and government services. The change will affect all countries. We made this decision to protect users from the deceptive sale of free items and government services.
See a preview of the updated version of the "Sale of free items and official services" policy, which will replace the current policy on April 19.
