This is you cue to move to other products to sell.
they are starting to heavily gate videogames, just like they did with other streamable media (CDs, DVDs, Books, etc.).

We raised the alarm on this when it started happening months ago. Lately it has gotten worse. We have been told that it was an internal error, that is being worked on. I just wish they had been ahead enough to have caught it before it has gotten as bad as it is now.
months ago 2-5 ASINs, now over 200+ ASINs removed.
This is also still not counting the 200+ that were removed due to GTIN mismatches for old Eidos Interactive games that the GTIN information was a mess on.
Hope you can get some answers as well. If this was a data issue, then letting us sellers that know about the problems with these older products may have been able to help.

Amazon has done same with toys along with price fixing and made catalog of older items horrible forcing customers back to the bay which is good thing as Amazon clearly wants to be like Alibaba and sell new knock off unbranded items.

Have you realized yet that all your sega branded games are now gated and they were even nice enough to not tell us and just delete the listings so you have no idea which ones are still listed. Amazon is full of morons. Nobody knows what they are doing and nobody has any authority to do anything. Soon it will be just fba chinese junk and alibaba or alieexpress will purchase it to continue to sell to the american idiots who buy this trash.

I have seen this in the last few days, Madden 21, NHL 21, Need for Speed and a few more have given me troubles. It appears people are messing around with publishers as well.

Notice a "sold and shipped by Amazon" NEVER gets discontinued even if its the exact same product you sell.

What I'm seeing is that original listings are being removed, and the Renewed ASIN's are staying. But you're right, I'm seeing so many catalogs that have PAL logos and not the NTSC version. Getting the image updated on these ASIN's is impossible.

I have been charged over 3000.00 in the last 2 weeks. I have about 10,000 or more "other fees" /shipping adjustment. I have opened like 8 cases that got transferred. No email no answer. When you purchase a label through amazon and put in the correct measurements and weight there should be no other charges. About a year and a half sgo my sales on Amazon was 100,000.00 my other fees were anout 150.00 now my sales are 3400.00 and my other fees are 3800.00. Im loosing money, I cant get any answers. Quite obviously Amazon is getting a kick back. If I cant get my money back Im done. Ill go to Ebay, Walmart ect. Amazon has made it where you absolutely cant stay in business and refuse to stand behind their sellers on shipping they charged them for
