I am having the same issue.  Did you get this fixed?

For the past two weeks my Chrome Extension has been taken down despite repeated attempts to fix it, which has been in the Web Store for years without issue.  I have made changes trying to comply but it continuously gets taken down for reasons that don't make any sense to me.  I keep emailing support and receive back the same automated email with the same one sentence reason.  I read through all the policy guidelines and believe it meets them all.  What should I do?

Reason for rejection every time:

"Spam and Placement in the Store"

Item has a blank description field, or missing icons or screenshots, and appears to be suspicious.

When I email them they say:

We may remove your item if it has a unclear description field.

But I have rewritten my descriptions ten times and they still get rejected:

Title: Purple Cloud Click-To-Call

Summary: Initiate and track a customer phone call with a single click in your DealerSocket or ELEAD CRM.

Detailed Description: Purple Cloud Click-to-Call helps you track your phone calls so your boss knows you are working hard and your CRM system gives you credit for completing that phone call task.  Tracking your phone calls also helps ensure you receive commission for any sales calls you make.

Just click the customer's phone number and you are in direct meaningful contact with your customer and on your way to closing your next sale.  It saves you time not having to type in a phone number and ensures you don't dial the wrong number.

Single Purpose Description: This extension allows a user to initiate and track a phone call with a single click in two popular customer relationship management systems: ELEAD and DealerSocket.

Host Permission: This extension integrates with two customer relationship management (CRM) systems: ELEAD and DealerSocket.  This extension needs access to these two CRM's hosted web pages to highlight the phone numbers and detect when they are clicked.

For two weeks the extension has been down and my paying customers are cancelling because of it.  What can I do?  How do I fix this?  How can I talk to someone?

I'm having this same issue with all of my extensions, and it's infuriating. Every email response I send is met with what looks like a copy-paste auto-reply. I can't do anything without any actual information (and even then, I'm already using the narrowest permission set possible, which I justified line-by-line on the store page).
