This has happened on a number of occasions but most sellers under UK law can choose not to sell to a specific customer. The ones who must deal with every customer are very rare exceptions.
Absolutely - that's exactly the point that I'm making. It may certainly be the case that Amazon can't enforce the "you can't resell your eBooks" clause in their T&Cs, but that certainly doesn't mean that they won't be within their rights to decline to do further business with someone who chooses to do so.
