It isn't entirely improbable that someone would be suspended for non-bidding without any negatives.
I think it is just about automatic that if you get three NPBs (non-paying-bidder warnings), eBay suspends your account. (though if you have super-high feedback, I believe it is not automatic.) Since so many sellers want to avoid retaliatory negatives, it is easy to tell eBay the bidder didn't pay, and leave no feedback. If this person was winning lots of auctions and not paying for them, it's possible that he'd get three NPBs with no feedback correlating to it. (Both times I've gotten NPBs--misunderstandings in both cases--the seller submitted the NPB info without leaving negative feedback right away.)
Also, a question: is it possible to suspend your own account? I'd imagine that you can cancel your own account, but if you do that, you wouldn't be able to come back with your feedback record where you left off.
