Requirements:
Market Fixer app installed
Faith and patience

Instructions:
1) go to manage applications in your settings, tap view all and force close "Market" (don't delete any data)
2) while still there, also delete "Google Services Framework"'s data and force close it
3) run "Market Fixer", tap analyze market links, select all of them and tap remove market links ONLY
4) go to "My Apps" inside Android Market and make sure there's a Retry button on the screen telling you it couldn't communicate with the server, if there isn't, repeat step 2 and re-check
5) re-run "Market Fixer" to be sure the links didn't get recreated, and if none appear, reboot
6) go to "My Apps" as soon as you boot completely
7) if previously bought apps appear on the list, go to the free apps category and install a new one (this will recreate your market's database with working information)
8) check "My Apps" one last time, all apps should be there now
9) if you want, reboot once more and go to "My Apps" again to make sure everything's in working order with your "My Apps" list
10) dance the macarena, shoot a few hoops or just enjoy your victory like i did
11) make sure you don't re-link those evil apps to your market so you don't have to redo all of this

***As you could've noticed, the idea behind the first five steps is to keep the market from recreating the links or having to clear the data for Google Services Framework many times (both happen when the market's still running in background).***

I've also used these steps with my Motorola Xoom Wifi and with my Samsung Exhibit II with more than pleasing results on each device... so please spread the word if this thread helped you or others 'cause I know there were a bunch of us with this issue. :)

The problem with that post and many others i found while researching, is that none of them actually worked on my devices 'cause the market and google services framework kept re-linking my apps. So i decided to try and mix all of the different methods i had found and came up with this one, which actually worked on all of my devices.

Glad i could be of help to you guys, but i think this error is done for. Haven't had this problem since Play Store v3.5.15, apparently they now ignore the troublesome market links. Eitherways, it's a win for us. ;)
