I know it sounds far-fetched, by I am wondering.

I had my newly created eBay account permanently cancelled, with no appeal, today.

The account had a single item (a Svalt cooling dock) for sale, and the description and text was similar to an existing Svalt item on the site.

The only thing in the account that could be flagged as 'suspicious' is the email. I used Apple ID and I did hide my email, so the resulting email is something like: `xyz4rt5uiosshpv@privaterelay.appleid.com` (not the real one)

I wonder if that's what flagged the account, but as usual in these cases, there's nothing the support team will tell me or do to help (which I understand, they have their hands tied by internal policies)

So, I was wondering, had anyone else here had a similar issue? And, what other platform did you use to sell stuff after that?

I need to buy a new laptop for development and some gaming, so I want a 'best'. I looked for 32Gb laptops but I couldn't find any (poor google fu?)

The default for a developer seems to be a MacBook Pro, which it may be upgraded this June according to rumours.

On the other hand, I feel I should try to escape Mac and use a Linux computer. Yes, I could install Linux to the MacBook Pro, but if I go that path I may as well get a different laptop.

Any recommendations on what machines should I consider?

I'm looking for a PaaS platform ala Heroku that lets me deploy SBT web projects (Play Framework 2.0 + Scala) and supports Webservices.

AFAIK Heroku's cedar architecture doesn't support them, yet.

Any suggestion? Thanks a million!
