Don't ever use/buy any sort of digital code for Nintendo eShop giftcard or digital game code

Nintendo recently suspended my account. I called them to find out why and they said it's due to a chargeback issued for Luigi's Mansion 3 digital code that I purchased from a 3rd party on eBay (this is the only game I purchased digitally from a 3rd party). The purchase in question was from 4 months ago! To reactivate my account they asked me to provide the proof of purchase, proof of refund or proof of dispute filed. I send them the eBay receipt as the proof of purchase and the dispute filed with eBay (and also the subsequent rejection from eBay because it's over their 30 day period). They just informed me they are not able to cancel the ban on my account because I can't provide them a proof of refund from eBay. Because I purchased the game code using eBay bucks and didn't go through PayPal or any sort of credit card system and eBay is refusing to provide a refund, Nintendo is refusing to reactivate my account.
