I went through the user-agreement - can't figure out what policy I violated. Some searching on the net took me to a discussion where some people have been suspended for gathering feedback by buying multiple eBooks & softwares. Usually, ebay allows the sellers to continue selling!
They responded to my email after 4 days, asked me to fax some documents - ID / utility bill / bank statement etc. which I did on the 25th. I got "received submitted documents" email from them on the 26th - saying it will take a minimum of 72 hours to review, and "Emailing us before that time may result in further delays."
It's over a week since then.. I haven't heard from them! Sent another email today.
