So I replied to the "Multiple Payment Methods" email (as per the recommendation of Customer Service) asking for more information on what "Multiple Payment Methods" means. FYI Customer Services had no idea either.
The second reply from the disputes email address was this:
We have received your most recent correspondence expressing concerns about the closure of your account.
Whilst we appreciate the information that you have provided, following an in-depth investigation into your account and the complaint that you have made, unfortunately we must again advise that your account was sanctioned correctly in full compliance with our policies and procedures.
Your account was correctly identified as violating ourpayment policy.
For further information on our policies and procedures please follow the link below:

Due to the above we will not be removing the ban that has been applied to your account.
As we have now completed two extensive investigations into your complaint we consider this matter closed and this as our final correspondence on this subject.
As you can see, they have essentially banned my account and closed the door on the matter. Customer Services have no idea what's going on and the only email address I've been told I can contact has provided me with two incredibly vague explanations for why my account was banned.
I have checked with my bank. There was no charge back on the card and there is no strange activity.
Lovely behavior from a company. I like that last line: "we consider this matter closed and this as our final correspondence on this subject". How corporate dystopia of them.
I'm curious if anyone thinks this is fair treatment or not?
Given what has occurred, Recommendation is to call CS again and request to know exactly what has happened even if the agent has to get the info via escalation.
The agent should be able to assist with this request and escalate as required to gain clarification.
Hope this helps
- Anonymous8 years agoWhich, of course, implies they actually could have helped me the first time?
 So when I said to them "there is absolutely no other way you can help me here?" and they responded "unfortunately no", they were probably just lying too me?
 That would be unfortunate. And unfortunately is likely given my interaction with the people running SWTOR so far...
- proxos6668 years agoHero+I cannot answer for what occurred previously I have sought advice on what is your best pathway to try and get this resolved as a fellow Australian and I have provided that advice in good faith. Like I said I hope this helps. 
- Anonymous8 years agoMy apologies, I wasn't implying your advice was bad. It's just such a round about and obfuscated process.
 I'm salty because of SWTOR, not you.
- 7 years agoThis also happened to me recently. Phone support and ToS is a joke. EA is a joke. I went through both of them like 5 times. I was banned for "Multiple Payment Failures" when trying to buy the Apex legends battle pass. The charge went through ONCE and I got the coins and bought the battle pass. Two days later they had refunded my charge and banned my account. They will not give you ANY details on why they banned a paying customer for trying to hand EA money? I guess they are cool with losing a potential life-time paying customer. 
- 6 years agoI know this was a while ago, but I've been dealing with the same stuff now. Did it ever get resolved?
