Yes, I was banned for something similar. I signed up to ebay and put a US$800 bid on an item, and got banned shortly afterwards. Weird. But I did get them to reinstate my account by using the online chat. When I sent an email request they said the ban was permanent and they couldn't do anything, but the online chat support person put me through to a "specialized team", who then reverted the ban.
I think the issue is just that their fraud detection is a bit ridiculous. If you want to buy used avionics, pretty much the only place you can do that is ebay, and everything is $500-1000 or thereabouts. I had never used ebay in the past 20 years, but if I want to fix my plane I'm kinda forced into it.
