Hey Jim,
Sorry about this and sorry about all the people that don't know your history of awesomeness here.
I found an EBay chat from last year where the exact thing happened to a PowerSeller. Here is an excerpt of what he was sent.
Your eBay account has been permanently suspended because we noticed activity that we believe is a risk to our community.
This means the following:
- You can’t buy or sell on eBay any longer. Any other accounts that you own or that are associated with this account have also been suspended.
- Outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven’t previously disputed will be charged to the payment method we have on file.
The safety of our community is a top priority for us, so our decision to permanently suspend your account is final and can’t be appealed.
If you have any concerns or questions regarding this matter, select Help & Contact at the top of most eBay pages.
We removed the following listings:
It ended up being a situation where he and his partner had another account and the partner quit paying EBay its fees properly. So they permabanned all his accounts.

I didn't read the whole thing. There might be more helpful stuff in the thread.
