>After some back and forth they restored it for a day and let me buy one item for personal use.

I used Spreadshirt to print a panel from the Tintin comic on a T-shirt, and I had no problem ordering it (it shows Captain Haddock moving through the jungle, swatting away the mosquitoes harassing him, giving himself a big slap on the face, and saying, 'Take that, you filthy beasts!').

I bought Tintin T-shirts 40 years ago in Thailand (the "branded" choices were amazing). They were actually really good, still got them!
