Hello and welcome, raxloves. :)

Those errors come and go with the Android Market, as it can be unstable from time to time. At the present time were seeing even more reports of error codes because of the Android Market change over to "Google Play," which involves amalgamating data from Gmail for each user.

AppBrain is a good alternative: Top Android Apps and Games in the Android Market | AppBrain.com

But speaking of data, some users have success by clearing data from the Market app in the application manager. Clear both cache and data and then restart you device. :)

I placed your query in the Ace device area for you.
