Developer program renewal blocked: "This item is currently not available in your country or region" — phone escalations not returned for 3 weeks

Posting here in hope of getting this in front of someone at Apple who can actually look at our account, since three weeks of phone support has produced no follow-up.

Setup:

  • Organizational Apple Developer Program membership, active through 2024
  • Did not renew in 2024 (no apps shipping that year)
  • Same country/region as every prior successful renewal; nothing has changed on our side
  • Have a completed app ready to ship right now

Error: During renewal, the payment page returns:

"This item is currently not available in your country/region."

Reproduced consistently across browsers, networks, and payment methods.

What I've tried:

  1. Renewing via the existing org account → same error every attempt.
  2. Enrolling a new org Developer account → enrollment is auto-cancelled with the message that our organization already has a membership and we must use the existing one.
  3. Phoned Apple Developer Program Support 10+ times over the past three weeks. Every call ends with the agent stating the issue requires senior advisor escalation and that I will be contacted by email. No email has ever arrived.

What I need: A path to a senior Developer Program Support advisor who can actually look at our case. Happy to share Team ID and Apple ID through any official channel.

If anyone from Apple sees this - our case has been open via phone support for three weeks with zero follow-up. Any pointer would be hugely appreciated.

I have the same issue, apple's products full of bugs.
