O Where O Where Has My Little Google Gone? Help Please!

As many have also experienced, I have had a terrible time with Gingerbread. I went to the Sprint Repair Center by my house, and they told me to save my contacts to my SD card and reset my Shift to Factory settings. Ignoring the Gingerbread issue, my reset did something bad for me that I hope some Guru can help me with. I had 50+ paid apps. I knew I would lose them but when I went to re-download them, I discovered that I had multiple G-Mail\Google accounts. I really don't use G Mail, so when I got the phone, I created a new account, not knowing if I already had one or not. When I went to sign back in to the Android app store, I didn't know which G-Mail or Google acct. my purchases are related to, so my re-downloads appear as new purchases. Is there a way via my cell phone number to see which account goes with my purchases. Some of these, like Sling Mobile, are pretty pricey. Any help would be more than appreciated. No help really exists with Google support.
 
try Menu/Settings/accounts & sync. Look for the Google Account Setup in there. that should be it, unless you added more than one.
 
You need to sign in in the account sync menu, like ginglish said, and you need to use the acct you bought all the apps from. You will be able to redownload all your paid apps.
