It's pretty stunning how low the threshold is for eBay suspending small and middle size sellers. Imagining walking into City Hall to re-new your business license. The clerk looks you up and down, sees that one of your shoelaces is untied, and says "Security! Throw this man out and show him the city limits! He's banned for life! He'll never work in this town again!" But if your name is Mr Big Retailer, this will never happen to you.

They say it doesn't matter how many years or how many tens of thousands of dollars you have made for eBay/Paypal. One or more infractions, some of which may be completely beyond your control, and they'll put a bullet through your head. Not a cozy business environnment for small and middle sized sellers.
