Suspended for ending a listing?

I listed a product but then I immediately decided to cancel it to learn more about the product and get a better idea of how much to sell it for (cancelled within 2 minutes of listing). I was then immediately notified that my account had been suspended :S 

Does ending a listing violate eBay's policies?

No ending a listing is not a violation or the option to do so would not be there.

Call ebay on their free call number and ask for it to be lifted as you did nothing wrong.

Could be another one of their restrictions on new sellers to go with the 21 days holding of payments?

Or a totally different reason the OP is not aware of yet.

May have been purely coincidental it happened around the same time.

That is ebay telling you they do not want to deal with you now, or ever..

"Your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay Community.

You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account.

Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file"

Just be sure it really is an ebay email.    Did it come through the ebay messages, or to your own email?
