Default Amazon Germany account suspended "impressum", need help

My Amazon Germany account just got suspended due to missing information in my "impressum". Whatever that means.

A few weeks ago I got an email from Amazon Germany stating that the contact information in my public seller profile is still incomplete or incorrect. Although it is correct and I have no problems in other Amazon marketplaces.
They referred that I should search for "impressum" in the seller central and find further info from there. I did this, but I could not find anything that would help me.
I sent them an email asking for further details on how to fix the issue. I got a reply and the seller performance team was supposed to email me but didn't. Instead they just suspended my account for the moment.
I added copies of the 2 emails below.

Have any of you had this issue before with Amazon Germany? I don't understand what information is missing or incomplete. Is it because I have been using a US bank account(has been working perfectly so far)? The address registered to this account is in Canada.

If anybody know how to fix this or has any info that could help me then please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

This is not uncommon; they would have sent you a message a few weeks before kindly reminding you to add this information. If you ignored it they will suspend your account; just add the information they requested and email your rep and they will get it live immediately. If it is a small account and you do not have a direct rep you will have to open a case under "respond to seller performance" and ask them to reinstate you. If you do not have a rep it usually would take about 2-3 days to get back up and running from my experience.

Again just put this info; from my experience they will not check this information; this is just information that the customer will see and if you ahve too many people complain that they have not been able to contact you Amazon will send the notice to update your "seller info" (impressum in German). Just put this:

Name and legal form of the company, (Or amazon store name)
company address, (Can be a po box)
direct contact information (phone / fax, email)
register numbers (registration, VAT registration number if available, etc.), (If you are not VAT registered you can skip this)
name of the authorized representative of the Company,

Account is still suspended. I updated the info and sent Amazon Germany a message. I added a copy of the reply I got. It seems that they want the VAT number if you sell under a professional plan. This is very weird as the other countries do not require this. Anybody have an opinion on this ? Maybe it is possible to register a private seller number in Germany and I can use that?

Dear Seller,

thank you for your reply.

I have checked the former email communication and got more information from the relevant department.
You are suspended for impressum, which is still incomplete. Being a Private Seller you do not need any VAT ID as have verified it on multiple Private seller accounts on Amazon. But you sell on Amazon as a professional seller, not a private seller, wherein as per Amazon guidelines professional sellers are required to provide impressum details, only private sellers are impressum exempt.

As my colleague already mentioned, the missing information includes:

- Company
- Legal form of the entity
- Company registration number
- VAT ID
- Proprietor/Owner's name.

The information mentioned in your impressum are following: address, phone contact and email contact.
Please edit the impressum with more information from the above mentioned list - none of those attributes are mentioned in your impressum.

If you have any further question, please contact the relevant Seller Performance department directly to get more information.
You can reach Seller Performance at the following email address:

verkaeufer-performance@amazon.de

We hope you find this information useful. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Freundliche Grüße
