Hi,

I had store up on Shopify for about 9months and yesterday I get an email that my account has been closed down for no reason. I have tried contacting them thru email to reverse the decision as nothing wrong was done. They claim that the decision is final. I am taking legal action on this course, as this discriminating against me.

If anyone else has this issue, lets submit a class action.

Thank You!
