What all the guys said.... sometimes ebay does suspend a sellers account, happened to me once, although the seller contacted me via email back saying he's really frustrated as well that ebay suspended his account for reasons he is not clear off. but as far as memory serves me he/she got her account running again after a week. prolly the reason given by rampage. Just make sure to get in contact with ebay about this immediately so they know that the deregistered seller has something to answer to so that you can make a claim later - keep all email responses saved, printed if possible as they (ebay) will ask for it sometimes as proof. Cheers
