arb_games - - I just want to say that I think it is disgusting ebay can shut down a long term seller so easily.  I personally would have no problem buying from you with your feedback as it is. 

I must be really easy going but I just don't get the big hoohaah over the occasional item being out of stock, especially with sellers who obviously have a lot of listings to look after.  As long as I received my refund I would be happy and only mildly inconvenienced.  

Ebay promotes the idea you can have a business here but fail to mention how easily they can pull it out from under your feet, or how the feedback system is so one sided it has become a virtual blackmail system simply by the way it is set up.   

Unfortunately coming to these boards is not much help as it is mainly populated by do-gooders who want to kiss ebays uknowhat but rest assured the real business world recognises that your situation is unjust.
