To deal with an account on hold and what is the likelyhood it will get banned?

On hold is just a placeholder for banned. I've had accounts on hold for years.
I suppose you could try to appeal it, but I doubt anything will come of it.

Flagged doesn't automatically mean reported. Your account can be automatically flagged as well, for example if you are gifted a valuable item, they will often flag it for inspection.

It's really not that difficult. There are several ways they could do it, but the way i think they do it is a check on all gifts/trades and if a gift is sent to someone of an abnormally high value, flag both accounts, which would probably be added to a queue for mod inspection.

I don't know the threshold for price or quantity but I believe it's serving similar to account inactivity suddenly becoming active and doing nothing but gifting it's items to an account it's never had contact with, or a sudden change in IP followed by item gifting or trade.
