That ebay registration page is a  bad made thing because they are asking for a GST registration number that does not exist.

 

First I spent 30 minutes on a phone with ATO just to figure out that GST registration numbers  do not exist. They are asking for GST registration number and Australian bussinesses do not have any registration number for GST. That's what I was told by ATO. Entering a seller's ABN does not work and ebay throws an error "User's country does not match VAT/GST/OGRN prefix." I am a registered seller in Australia and I have chosen AU. how is it possible it does not match?

 

After ATO I called ebay and what I have heard is more ridiculous. I was told that they have had a lot of calls about that page and then I was told that the support person I was talking to is going to submit a report to fix it and I would need to try this page later today.. Why on earth they are reporting this problem to their tech team only now if they have received a lot of calls about it already.

That page sitting there for at least 10 days, some participants of this discussion mentioned a week ago that that page does not accept their ABNs. So what ebay have been doing all this time? It seems they have done nothing at all.

And they keep sending emails about that Netflix tax and pointing to that bad page. I have received one today again.

 

I suggest everybody here who cannot complete this registration page should call eBay and tell them to fix it asap or at least stop wasting everybody's time sending them emails and asking to go and register on that page.

 

I have not signed to be a tester for ebay but somehow we are sellers and buyers all testing their new feautures all the time and finding some bugs in them and still paying them fees for their buggy pages. I would accept that if they were fixing them after they recieve reports about them but it is not happening at all.
