Delete data and force close market app. Then remove your google account linked to the market app. Add the google account back and then start the market app. Should be back to normal. This solution works for a number of custom ROM market failures/errors.

Phew!

This is the third time it's happened and the first time the above advice worked (before I had to restore, which is a pain). Thanks, dudema1st!

I am on stock 4.1.2....

Hate it when this happens.

after reading this thread does seem android is becoming a joke with bugs and google play in particular, I have lost count how often I have wiped data, wiped cache, resetup google account.

+1 nothing works for me :(:(:(

EDIT: I have tried everything, then I have written to googleplay-support, after one hour my account is back to life :)

This is the error I have on any device with my account. It's even possible see my apps on a PC. I've tried everything, I wipe everything, also my wife :). Google solve it for me in one hour.

These are known issues of Google Play, they're working on them https://support.google.com/googleplay/known-issues/1319135?hl=en-GB&ref_topic=2999682

Yes, I know this, but in the web there are working solution for many people. solution that aren't working for me and this is very frustrating. So I think to post this, because the same symptom has not always solution. Just know that sometimes the solution is only on Google may be a little help: I have lost hour trying every possible wipe.

    I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.

    if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.

    when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay

    also i am using the same google account, i only have one.

    below is an image of the error

    I got the same issues and had to 1-delete market cache 2- reboot phone then start play store(make sure you have good internet connections for 1st time as I had issues with 3g). As for apps you purchased and appearing as not purchased, try to purchase the same app it will give you error with a pop message asking to sign-in google wallet to complete the purchase go ahead with purchase (they will not charge you and you will receive two emails 1st order complete 2nd order canceled). When you go back to the market all purchased apps will be there.

    This is how I got around my problems hope this will fix it for you..... Cheers
