Amazon.com Third-party seller permanently barred Internet

I saw a story on this website about a a person who was a third-party seller with Amazon, and one day he got an email from "Amazon Alliance" stating that he had been permanently barred from selling on Amazon. This happened to me as well.

In December of 2004, after barely a year of selling (and maintaining what I thought was an OK seller rating) we received the ominous email, and just like the other guy said, this was a PERMANENT action taken by Amazon. We grossed over $40K that year, and we thought everything was under control. We pleaded with Amazon to lift the ban, but to no avail.

If the person who wrote the previous article is serious about a class action suit, I may be willing to participate. Someone has to stop Amazon from taking what I consider to be cruel and certainly UNUSUAL steps to punish those who they believe have broken the rules...I do not recall giving any of my constitutional rights away to become a member of the Amazon team.
