Re: banned: while other new sellers sell same product?
This is the CLASSIC question... "Why did eBay take MY listing down, but they allow the other sellers to sell".
The bottom line is, we will never know. It happens to all of us. When it happened to me, I was VERY angry. I emailed eBay and just got boilerplate emails back from them with "eBay, in it's sole discretion, reserves the right... blah, blah, blah. And if you try to re-list it, we will close your account." When I called, they told me it was a SafeHarbor issue (nowadays it is called Trust & Safety) and they could not give me any information. When I asked to speak with someone in SafeHarbor, they told me they did not accept calls. This tells me they piss a LOT OF PEOPLE off and do not want to try to justify their actions.
All you can do is use the account to sell something else and create a new stealth account and try to sell the item again that way. Of course, you will need new descriptions, title, pictures, etc.
More recently, I have had 4 accounts selling the same item and ONE would get the eBay rules takedown and the others did not. I have no idea how they decide who to target. But trying to fight them is an exercise in futility and frustration.
