I think Amazon Uses this in determining who to suspend
I just registered 3 weeks ago on Amazon. I listed some high value electronics on the 12th day. On the 13th day, I sold one item. Instantly, I was 'suspended'. As I looked through my account, I realized that one of my items were still listed for sale, so I deleted the other (product was probably a no no). Minutes later, my account was unsuspended. On the 14th day, 3 things happened:
1) I sold the rest of my inventory
2) I was hit with the 'reserve'
3) They only held ONE payment and sent me an e-mail saying they were sending me the rest.
I said all of that to say this - This is my first time on Amazon, I registered as a Pro, used all of my real information and everything seems to be going okay thus far. I think Amazon uses public information/public records when deciding who to boot off. If they can't verify your identity through public records, that's probably why they suspend you. I think PayPal does the same. They check your name against your address/telephone number to ensure you are a real person. If not BAM, suspended/limited.
