Service date is missing on the Ebay invoice | Seller Lounge

Hello, I create the invoices through eBay and send them to my customers. Now I’ve received a request from a customer who is asking me for an invoice correction because there is no service date on the invoice. But I can’t find any option in the settings to include the service date. I think he is right, because according to § 14 UStG a service date must be included on the invoice. The service date is missing from the invoice. Therefore, the invoices created by eBay are not legally compliant. If the service date is missing from an eBay invoice,the invoice is formally incorrect, which can jeopardize input tax deduction with the tax office, since this is a mandatory detail under § 14 UStG and determines when VAT becomes due. Can someone confirm whether the service date now has to be included or not?
