Default [Q] (Q) Android Market keeps changing default account

So I have two different gmail accounts on my LG Thrill. (One Business, One Personal)

The market app keeps changing the default account to my business account.
Makes it harder to keep up with updates.

Is there any way to fix this?

Sorry if this is a newb question, I can't figure it out.

When you first set up the phone...which account did you use during set up. mine always defaults to that account and never changes.

If you need to change that...the only way i am aware of is a factory reset ...or manually switch (which until now...i had no idea you could do)

Thats what odd is that my personal account was the one that was set up first, yet it keeps trying to change to the other.

It seems to be a market issue right now. It's happening on a couple of my phones right now as well, including a stock Thrill and CM7 Atrix and X10

Ah ok I figured it was something of the sort because it randomly started happening.

Default Same on G2x

Oh good, my G2x with CM7 has been doing the same thing. Thought I was going to have to wipe. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Agreed. It's really annoying having to keep switching back to my primary account. I don't want to make any purchases until it's fixed. Don't want to risk the purchase going to an incorrect account.

Unless you've added a credit card to the other account(s), then there will be no risk on making purchases under the wrong account.

If you're that paranoid, you can always activate the PIN protection so it forces you to enter a PIN code to authorise an app purchase.
