Selling Nintendo Products

by Seller_fAXajmuNviGN6

I just received this email today (see below). I wanted to bring it to everyone’s attention as the date to request approval is the same date as the listing being removed giving sellers zero time to make arrangements.How can the Amazon team implementing this think this is ok? Unbelievable!

I can’t seek approval: " You are not approved to list this product and we are not accepting applications at this time."

What is going on?

I received the same notice. What does that mean? It does not give any specific information.

I get it for new items? But used Gamecube and older generation games? How do you obtain an approval for used items? No distributor sells these items. These are used games…

Any chance Nintendo is behind this new policy. After all they have a trademark and Amazon is a huge Marketplace. If Nintendo is the only seller of Nintendo on Amazon huge win for them.

You can blame all the idiots selling multicarts and “reproductions” of older games for a lot of this. I knew that the second they started popping up they would get Nintendo’s attention and now they’re acting on it.

I’m curious how this will go as i received permission to sell a few specific Nintendo games that were gated a few years ago due to the above. I wonder if that will take priority on those specific ASINs or not…

I completely support the move as the site is flooded with counterfeit Nintendo merchandise.

What am I supposed to do about all the inbound FBA stuff I sent them YESTERDAY?

0 days’ notice and I don’t even know how to file removal on all that stuff - or what’s gated and what isn’t

@AngelicPretty, has pointed out why this happened. Bad Third-party actors, have made life difficult for the good guys again.
