Wow so this post apparently blew up. A few updates:
1. I called for a third time and got a very helpful support person (Rod) who was able to unlock my account. The strange thing is that Rod did not ask me a single question about my intentions on the platform. I have no idea why Rod could unlock my account so easily but the other two refused and hung up on me.
2. I re-posted the 6 items I wanted to sell but I still have the feeling that my account is shadow-banned since they all have exactly 0-1 views in 24 hours. That seems suspiciously low for popular electronics (Switch games and synthesizers)
3. This isn't even my worst experience with eBay ever! That would be ~5 years ago when I sold my old cell phone on eBay. I apparently forgot to "accept" the payment so the buyer got my phone, eBay charged me for the fees, and I got $0. Yes that's right, I sold my phone for negative money.
