I have been involved in a transaction where a member was banned in the middle of a huge mess. Ebay placed a note of NARU on their feedback page the day the account was closed. This seller has no such message on their feedback page. This makes me wonder if the account is really closed or if ebay just has put a ban on them for selling. I know someone that got banned from selling but not buying and nothing was noted on their account. If they are no longer allowed to sell, I don't see why they can't have access to their paypal account, as they would be able to buy. I would call ebay about this today and file a case if they in fact are able to fix your transaction and are using that as an excuse. Ebay can tell you this information.
