Reason: temporary ban. Even though he hadn't done anything illegal before.
What could be the reason? And what does "temporary ban" mean?

It means like: "temporary ban"?

Maybe too many attractive lots for sale?
Incitation to propose a payment mode that avoids PayPal support for buyers (friends/family)?
Invalid/unlawful Terms?
Maybe 2nd account?

+ current geopolitical restrictions...

Aren't all BL sales to/from Russia prohibited due to the war in Ukraine?

I presume that once hostilities cease trade will resume.

But it could be for other reasons.

Yes but no, AFAIK Russia to Russia is authorized.
So it shouldn't be a reason to close a shop (apart if they do only export,
which I doubt...)

Aren't they banned now too, as Russian sellers cannot pay fees.

IIRC, all the sales involving at least one Russian member are (and were) banned.
The stores are all closed but they still have their priviledges, unless they
do bad things.

Yes, you're right. They keep the store but cannot take orders. Although getting
around the ban like this seller was obviously doing is clearly the reason for
the suspension.

Ah yes, a reason for the suspension...

That's right, support answered me the same way. HOWEVER! Before that, there
was access to the store and inventory, but it was impossible to accept and leave
orders. Ban now.

You were advertising on your store that you were accepting orders by people sending
you a snapshot of their order. This not only tries to circumvent the ban-on-sales,
but promotes sales facilitated by BL but transacting outside BL, a violation
of the Terms of Service.

So take your pick, either one would likely be sufficient for a ban.

Niek.
