For a Google Ads shopping campaign, one links a Google Merchant Center account. Google Ads accounts linked with Google Merchant Center has since the last around 1 year, been highly used (or rather misused) by scammers who setup fake shopping websites to loot people (receive payments and deliver nothing or receive payments and deliver dog's poop).
Google Ads has been unable to stop such scams from happening and hence Google (Google Ads) has been mass suspending Google Merchant Center accounts (& the linked Google Ads accounts) nowadays, no matter even if such Google Merchant Center accounts & their linked Google Ads accounts are intended for legit purposes.
Hence almost all newly created Google Ads accounts linked with Google Merchant Center accounts are getting suspended (both the Google Ads accounts & Google Merchant Center accounts get suspended) and it will mention as suspended due to misrepresentation although there may not be any misrepresentation.
On the other hand search campaigns are nowadays having good success rates as compared to shopping campaigns.

any work around this? the way you're talking I am already seeing a possibility to find older google merchant accounts in play.
I can also see some higher access like an agency MCA creating those accounts to avoid some of the miss representations

I am also having this issue, I have a relatively new site on Shopify and linked Google merchant through Shopify and the products cross-post automatically but yesterday the google merchant suspended my account due to "misrepresentation" but no other reason. Also no clarification. I tried to make a few edits to figure out what direction to go and fix it and requested a review but they said the blanket statement of "misrepresentation" again. So.. kind of just stuck trial and error figuring out what is banning me. Any help is appreciated.

You shouldnt create different store, that will be seeing as circumventing google policy. If you don't mind, we can try to look into your site and get this hopefully fixed in days. Check: allgroupinc.com/help
