VAT ID active for a year – Suddenly threatened with suspension after data update | Members help members

Hello everyone,my VAT ID has been on file for a year. Recently I updated my details and item specifics in my listings. Now eBay is suddenly sending me an email saying that my VAT ID is either missing or does not match the BZSt. The 7-day deadline is already running.Facts:Account type: Sole proprietorData comparison: Name, address, spelling, and numbers in the backend match the BZSt notice and the business registration 100%. No typo!My only suspicion (company name): In the business registration and on the BZSt notice, there is no company name, or it was not requested. However, eBay forces me to fill in the “company name” field in the form. I entered my legal name there (first name + last name).Is the “company name” field filled out correctly like this?How can I get a manual review by support here as quickly as possible based on my documents (business registration/BZSt notice)?Thanks for any quick help!Best regards
