Yes, I appealed with a long email explaining things and how much I've spent over the years and how many games I have tied into EA over multiple platforms as if they would care...i'd check going online every so often with some games and would get the denied error...then one random day I tried and it went through. Went to EA's site and saw my ban was lifted :)

did you ever get your EA account back? saw your post on the Paypal forum
