I am trying to get that point across... IT IS NOT A SCAM... it is a REAL EMAIL FROM EBAY. I am a computer systems engineer for a living, I know what I am talking about, and I checked it out before posting here.
What I am asking is this: IS EBAY BANNING CONSERVATIVES?
Did you post on Twitter and Facebook under your real name?
By any chance was your dormant account hijacked?
I ran across his video a few days ago, it describes in detail a scam worked through a hijacked account.

It is a reasonable question to ask. So far, there is not enough information presented from other sources to make that determination.
A dormant account, hijacked by a fraudster is a possibility. I have had that happen in the distant past.
Most likely, the bans are automatic based on a computer programmed assessment of account activity.
As a software engineer, you must be very familiar with programs which do not quite work as expected, or actually contain errors.
Of course, MY code never does those things. Errm, well almost never. Well, except for those few times. No doubt, your code is better. ;)
E-bay does not really care. Buyers and sellers are merely livestock to be harvested. I avoid them.
