Consolidate market purchases to 1 account?

---

I made various purchases with different “main gmail accounts", but always used the same Google checkout.
Now depending on what email I set as first after a new Tom install I can either download a part of what was purchased with that gmail as default or reset and use the other default for the other apps, impossible though to access all purchased, attempts restoring backed up apps result in copyright protection prompts.
Any idea how to solve that?

I'm wondering the same thing, when I was running android on my tp2 I was using a different account.now I use my gmail and I can't figure out how to transfer my old purchased apps

I got the answer.. but not very appealing...

After reading true the Google FAQ I found the answer, anything else than satisfying though...:
- According to Google each purchase is associated with your main account - main account as per definition is the one that you've added first after installing a rom, regardless if your checkout account is associated with another gmail account. They state clearly that if one changes email, he has to buy the stuff again.
Usually not the approach that google takes, and without ending in a collective bash, I still gotta admit that this is quite a primitive way of handling customer relation - at least in my opinion.

[Edit:] I made an experiment with apprain.com, hoping they would be the solution for future purchases, but unfortunately the market app is the dominating part in the triangle between user - apprain - market syncing[/Edit:]
