OK, for those interested in what happened, my account has been reinstated. Apparently, Ebay is really cracking down on outside sales and contact outside of Ebay. It is a real shame as I play by the rules but sometimes when buying an expensive part many buyers want to talk to the seller over the phone. That is no longer allowed. The guy I talked with at Ebay said phone numbers are not allowed in listings at all. Its strange since it seems like one out of 5 listings has a phone number in it. He said my suspension was due to someone sending me their phone number. Because I did not reply stating that ebay does not allow phone numbers to be sent through messaging I was suspended. I never even called the person whoo sent me the message. I simply answered their question through ebay messaging and moved on. I can understand Ebay wanting to crack down on outside sales but the way they went about it in my case is totally wrong.
Thanks to all the members who reached out to me. I hope this does not happen to anyone else here.
