My eyes cannot physically roll any further. I recently bought an SD card from eBay. It was 256 GB and when I plug it in to my computer it reported more space. Some odd multiple like 261 GB. I ran f3 [1] and found sure enough the card did not have the storage it promised.

I asked eBay for a refund. They refunded me. I gave the seller a negative review in an effort to warn other prospective buyers. eBay refused to ban the seller. Further the seller sent me an eBay message threatening me for my negative review and eBay did nothing.

What is happening to you, if you genuinely did nothing wrong, is a symptom of some alpha-level ML/algorithm-based fraud detection that was made by some data scientist with poor data or no clue. And support is not trained to address this.

I bought some heat-shrink off Amazon once, for an electrical project. I ordered "1cm diameter". When it came, it was 2cm in diameter. I kept it as it was too cheap an item to bother returning and it would probably come in handy some time anyway.

As per your 'warning to others' notion I wrote a review that simply said "Be aware that this heat-shrink is actually 2cm diameter. Looks like someone at Amazon doesn't know the difference between diameter and radius"

Pretty light-hearted, I thought. But I got an email off Amazon saying my review had not been published as it was 'offensive' and 'blah... blah... T&C... blah... blah... no personal attacks'. Sometimes, the hyper-sensitivity of these companies is breath-taking.
