Google Play no longer shows sideloaded apps

That's odd...I've never had that problem (granted, Amazon AppStore ain't even available over here). But other sideloaded apps? They never showed up in the installed apps section of the Market for me. Something about having different names in the signatures or something that does not match the Market-versions, I believe, to avoid this issue specifically... dunno about Amazon tho.

All you needed to do in order to get passed this problem was delete the app and clear the market cache

I think the design of the play store looks brilliant! Kills the competition IMO !

Excellent news. A while back a 3rd party app store was having a promotion where they had some paid apps available for free. I took the bait on one of them but it wouldn't receive any updates and the 3rd party app store wasn't supporting it any longer. It was listed with Google as purchased already so I couldn't pay for it but also couldn't download it. At least there was a free version I could use in the mean time but even that wouldn't let me purchase it since it was already listed as purchased. Clearing the market cache and even a factory reset did nothing to resolve the issue of it being listed as purchased with Google itself.
At least it's finally resolved. Whoo hoo!!!

I usually have the opposite problem and Amazon tries updating my other apps.

yeah getjar free apps prevented me from buying the apps on the market to get the updates; even uninstalled, the apps would show up as "purchased" in the market, but errors "not purchased" when trying to download; glad they finally changed that.
Also it would be nice to remove the history on installed app in the web store.
