德国时间3月11日下午1点左右，大批卖家收到了一封“夺命邮件”：
你的账户已被禁止在德国站市场上销售！
Your account has been blocked from selling on Amazon.de marketplace, using FBA services in Germany (including Pan-EU and CEE FBA programs) and from shipping orders to German based customers because your German Tax Certificate was not uploaded and verified by the deadline.
Under German VAT legislation, online marketplaces must collect German Tax Certificate from selling partners selling from locations in Germany or to customers in Germany. Please upload a copy of your valid German Tax Certificate to Seller Central to regain your selling privileges. Once you upload your Tax Certificate, we will review it and will revert to you in case additional information is required. This process may take up to 5 working days.
You are allowed a 30-day period to remove your inventory from DE fulfilment centers, after which, any remaining inventory will be disposed of at your cost without further notice.

德国卖家一下子因为这封这封邮件炸了，这次被限制销售权限的卖家之中主要以下三类卖家为主：
1, 没有上传德国税号的卖家
2, 还没来得及在3月10日之前向平台提交税务证书申请表扫描件的卖家
3, 已经提交了扫描件申请扫描件延期/已经上传了税务证书副本的卖家
为此，万里晴紧急成立了专案小组，并连同德国会计师制定应急方案。
据了解，这次封号的原因主要是有很多卖家即使向平台提交了德国税务证书扫描件，但仍然存在欠税的情况，税务证书申请的过程中被税局的系统检测出来了，要求平台立即对店铺采取行动。
这就是为什么大批卖家即使提交了德国税务证书申请表进行延期，但仍然遭到了封店/限制销售权限，因为封你店的不是平台，而是德国税局！对没错，就是税局！在你申请税务证书的同时，德国税局也会对你的每一条申报记录进行审查。当然，也有极个别的卖家是因为向平台上传了由不靠谱的税务中介提供的有PS过/假德国税务证书副本，而德国税局也向平台反馈没有发放过这个证书，那么封店是在所难免的了。但是，除了上述的几种情况，有很多上传了正规的德国税务证书副本，每个月也有如实申报的老卖家同样收到了封店/限制销售权限的邮件。为此我们特意咨询了德国税务专员，由于这次大规模的税务证书排查属于税局系统的自动扫描，不排除因为某些因素导致卖家的店铺被误封！这种情况只要您申诉店铺就可以自动解封了！如果卖家存在被误封的情况，请立即扫码添加万里晴税务顾问，并且向他提供您的Merchant ID，我们将免费为您开启快速有效的申诉渠道，帮助卖家早日恢复销售权限！
