VAT ID - Upcoming account suspension | Seller Lounge

Hello everyone, I’m facing a small problem: recently I changed my eBay account from private to business, due to a prior message from eBay saying that because of my selling activity the change was necessary.This notice was completely understandable, so I registered a business and then switched the account. In the first message, a deadline of 4 weeks was mentioned; after I changed the account, a few days later I already received the notification that the VAT ID must be entered within the next 7 days, otherwise the account will be restricted.I had already applied for the VAT ID before that, unfortunately it always takes a few weeks until the letter with the VAT ID arrives, so I’m unfortunately unable to submit the VAT ID within the required timeframe. I’ve now read several times about an extension for exactly this case and therefore wanted to ask whether this could also be done for my account.I know this is an exceptional situation, but it would help me a lot and it shouldn’t take too much longer before the ID arrives. If someone sees the post and could tag an eBay employee, I would be very grateful. Best regards
