Hello... Like many other users, I received this notice. eBay is obliged to request the VAT identification number (UID number) from commercial sellers as proof of their tax registration. According to our information, your company is based in the EU and you have total cross-border turnover within the EU of more than 10,000 euros per year. You sell goods to private individuals in the EU and ship these goods from another EU country.Because these sales are above the EU-wide delivery threshold of 10,000 EUR for cross-border trade within the EU, we need either your valid local VAT identification number with confirmation that you declare and pay VAT via One-Stop-Shop (OSS), or your valid VAT identification number for each EU country to which you ship goods. In accordance with legal regulations, eBay compares your data with the data held by the tax authorities. I have now been blocked by eBay for European countries.This means a major loss of revenue for me!!I am subject to margin taxation.I have confirmation from my tax advisor and from the tax office!!I am above the 10,000 euro threshold.But that doesn't matter....because I am subject to MARGIN TAXATION.According to my tax advisor, I am not allowed to fill out the letter I received from eBay like that!!...I hereby confirm that the cross-border sales of my company with private individuals/consumers within the EU, which are not subject to margin taxation, are below 10,000 EUR per calendar year across all sales channels (not just eBay).In the event that my annual cross-border sales within the EU with private individuals/consumers, which are not subject to margin taxation, exceed the threshold of 10,000 EUR in the future, I will inform eBay of this and provide the required information (VAT identification number(s), OSS confirmation What now ??
