Nope. It happened after I traded a guy a degreaser for his camera beard. He accepted it. I shouldn't get punished for a person's taste in items.

wait wait...so they disabled it because you were making too many transactions? I mean, I sorta understand that except for the fact that in TF2 you have to make a bunch of purchases for anything substantial.

Yes, this is Valve's so-called 'protection' about fraud. This happens if you buy too much (apparently), you get gifted a game by someone whose creditcard is not valid or if they suspect your account got hacked.
I thought they will send an e-mail to you where you have to click a verification link and reenable your account, but it seems that is only if they suspect your account if being hacked.

Also, LaN, stop buying so much stuff ;) .

This is why you pay money for the TF2 Mann Co. Store :D
TF2Backpack
I make various SourceMod Plugins for TF2.
Also I fix things. And break things. No complaints.
