So far I've never purchased anything from the Market but just installed free apps. Now, I'd like to purchase an app and I want to make sure the Market is using the correct Google account, since I have two (one personal @gmail.com and one from a Google Apps account for work). How can I do that? Do I just assume the first account in the list is the one used in the market? Keep in mind that I don't really remember which account I added first.

Not exactly what you are looking for but a post here says you can clear data in the market app to switch accounts. Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select Market app > Select Clear Data. – gary comtois Dec 19 '10 at 16:16

When you buy an app, it will show the email address being used (on the payment page, where you select the payment method and such). You can still back out at that point. It's right at the top, at least in the newest Market.

Nope, I just discovered that that even if I used the right address to pay, all apps are bound to the other one... – Dario Solera Feb 10 '11 at 17:03

Generally it is the first Google account you add to the phone that is associated with the market.

It's probably worth noting that standard Google Apps accounts can't use Checkout at all, so you can't put a credit card on them, and so can't pay for Market Apps. Only Apps accounts upgraded over the last couple of months to the upgraded Apps accounts can (if your account was upgraded you should have got an email with the title "Your Google Apps account now works more like a full Google Account." If you haven't then the only account you can use to buy apps on the Market is your personal one.

Yon can buy apps on http://market.android.com/ using browser. This way you can be sure with which account you are logged in.
