Hi all-
I just now received this email from Amazon in response to my inquiries:
------------
Hello again from Amazon.com. We have reinstated your Amazon.com account, and it’s now available for your use. Please note that if a higher than acceptable number of concession incidents occur in the future, your account will be closed. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Wow... I feel so relieved, and I truly hope that this will put to rest any fears that I was trying to "put one over" on Amazon.
While the events of the past day were quite honestly concerning, I always did hold out some hope that they would take a second look at my record and realize that I am, indeed, just a regular guy who got caught up in a (very appropriate) sweep of people trying to commit fraud.
Thanks everyone for all the support you've given me and all the advice. All I can say is, I did follow Amazon's procedure in addition to posting here and in other places, and at ALL time, remained calm, professional and friendly.
As Amazon.com has always been for me.
Have a great day - I've got to grab some lunch and go read a book
