I happen to know the person who's Ebay ID is FIVELOVES.  This person
emailed me telling me they got an email from Ebay saying their account
was suspended and asked for my help.  There is no scam or shilling going
on.  This person actually was quite upset about this since they did have
active bids on the figurines in question.
 
I'm not sure if the issue with their Ebay ID has been resolved.
FIVELOVES has no idea why their account was suspended.  But rest
assured there is no scam going on.
