Root Question about paid apps

I have a question about paid apps. I bought NFS Shift a while back when it was on sale for 99 cents. I have noticed that there has been updates available for quite some time now (I first saw the available updates in AppBrain), but every time I try and update through AppBrain it says that it can't be found. If I search for NFS on the market, it shows up as if I have never paid for it.

If I log in to my market account online it does show up as me having paid for it, but it does not show up in my download list on my phone. I am sure it has something to do with my doing factory resets, flashing ROMs, etc, but is there an easy way to fix it? If I were to uninstall it, if I log in to my market account online, will it let me reinstall it from there (assuming it would still show up there)?

I don't want to uninstall it and then find out that I get screwed, especially since the price is $4.99 again. I have been reading a lot of horror stories with EA lately too (many people are getting charged twice, etc).

Anyone else seen this issue?
 
Flashing roms and resetting won't have anything to do with the Market. If you want, use TB to back your apps up and uninstall it...then of course reinstall it and see if it works.
 
Well I found part of the problem. In the online market, I notice that for NFS it says that it is not available for my carrier. So that is why it is not letting me install it from my online account. Looks like I will have to email EA or something.

EA pulled a fast one and pulled it from the market and then relisted several hours later. The end results is that it is considered a different app now and those that bought the .99 version are SOL if you didn't back it up. EA suxs
