"The only idea that came up was to plead your case to jeff@amazon.com (Jeff Bezos’s email address), with plenty of detail including the reason my account might have been banned."
I would write to PR at amazon amazon-pr@amazon.com.
If that gets no response I would fax to that department.
If still no response fedex copies of the above two attempts to Bezos or some high up VP. At some point someone will take notice.
If not it will make a good story during the holiday season. I've had good luck with holiday and event specific interest by the media. Timing is everything.
If it were me, after trying the above, I would package the story and send it all over actually.
Edit: When you send to the media make sure to package with choice HN comments to, um, make their job easier.
