This isn't one of those OMG I lost my second life type of deals; I was barred from Facebook because I think I added too many people at one time (which is ridiculous). The real issue is that I am currently trying to purchase a macbook pro, DSLR and a monopod through facebook. Since I didn't think this stuff actually happens, I didn't jot down the information from my inbox - and for the life of me - cannot find the sellers contact information on a new account.
I have contacted
disabled@facebook.com &
Info@facebook.com but it seems that all I get are these stupid automated replies. Does anyone have experience on getting their accounts back ?

It's an anti-spam measure, and you have no meaningful appeal process. A quick look at the Get Satisfaction page will probably give you a rough idea of what you're up against. Out of 144 people dealing with closed accounts, it looks like 3 people have reported success (all after weeks of struggles).
Facebook is notoriously horrible about this stuff.
The Facebook Marketplace would imply that it's not
I think we need more details please.
For the record, I had mine disabled about a year ago, only I was banned for genuinely no reason whatsoever. Got the same automatic message, sent maybe three emails out to different addresses on the facebook support page and such and after two or three days I got a response from a woman who apologized and said my account would be instantly restored. Kind of annoying but I brushed it off.
Counter anecdote:
I had a friend whose goal was to friend everyone he could, and had nearly 3,000 friends. Facebook disabled his account for having too many friends. He got it reopened a few months later.
I didn't even know of such a thing! Guess I was right about being probably wrong. /facepalm
Can you ask him what he did ?
-Went through marketplace to purchase equipment for next semester
-Started adding friends from South Africa
-While requesting 1 friend account froze and then I refreshed, said I was disabled when I tried signing in
I don't really want to go back to Facebook for socializing, I just really need that used gear for school.
Also, why can't you just create a new account under that network and search for it again?
The most hilarious thing is that Facebook even banned Finland's employment minister from Facebook for having too many contacts. She didn't have her account restored either.
Ok, I messaged him, and here's what he said:
His account is unfrozen right now and he's got a little over 4,000 friends.
4000 friends?!
He doesn't know them all--He friends anyone he can, and people will just accept.
Seriously though, good luck with it. I'd be...wary of the south Africans though. Unless you live in South Africa.
I do not see how this is advice on my situation.
Seriously though, I'd double check it as well.

You know what I mean :P
There's just something naturally shady about you folk,
