Hello community, my business seller account has now been suspended after approx. 3 years because of supposedly incorrect tax data in my eBay account. "According to §22f UStG, it is required that the registration data, including your valid German VAT identification number (USt-IdNr.), in your eBay account matches the stored data at the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt). " I haven't changed anything about my tax data; everything had always been correct until now.I checked this again and tried to update it under the company details. That's what I tried, but I couldn't save it anymore because it said that the format of my tax identification number doesn't match.... I received this from the tax office in the form XX/XXX/XXXXX. If I only enter the numbers, it won't let me save it anymore. Then, out of frustration, I tried entering some random number combination until I was able to save it. But now the data can no longer be changed at all and I'm completely confused. What can I do, why does my old tax number, which I always used, no longer work..I can't sell anything anymore now and feel a little screwed **Ouch**.
