Video, DVD, & Blu-ray

Last revised on March 5, 2017

As part of our ongoing efforts to provide a great shopping experience, beginning September 15, 2014, sellers who have not sold any items in the Video, DVD, & Blu-ray category between September 6, 2013, and September 15, 2014, will be required to apply to sell in the category.

Additionally, sellers who have sold one or more items in the category between September 6, 2013, and September 15, 2014, will be required to apply to sell DVDs with Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) of $25 or greater. All sellers in this group may continue to list DVDs with MSRPs below $25 and Blu-rays at any MSRP without further action.

We are implementing this restriction because these products may have a higher risk of authenticity issues.

Additional information on the application process is listed below.
