Re: Business account required
I understand, it's frustrating to be forced to upgrade to business. I'm also not sure why ebay.de wants you to do this, considering you don't make more than 10.000 Euros per year in Europe.
Upgrading to business without a valid VAT ID wasn't possible for me. eBay told me, that's because I either have items stored in Germany or I'm residing in Germany (both was the case). So I guess, if you have literally any sales in a EU country you have to provide your VAT ID.
As far as I know, though, eBay gives you 30 days to upgrade to business. I've read from several people in the forum that after the 30 days, eBay gave them another 30 days time to upgrade. But I wouldn't count on it. My account got restricted after the 30 days were over.
