Amazon reportedly pulled Confederate flag merchandise from its website Tuesday in the wake of the Charleston shooting that left nine people dead.

The retailer made the decision as its sales of Confederate flags skyrocketed more than 3,000%, according to Bloomberg.

People started snatching up the flags online after several major retailers — including eBay, Wal-Mart, and Sears — pulled them from shelves.

The retailers banned the flags after last week's shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, in which a gunman killed nine people in the historic black Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

The man arrested in connection to the shootings, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, reportedly harbored racist sentiments and wanted to incite a "race war." He appeared to pose with the Confederate battle flag in several photos that were unearthed after the attack.
