Has any body else been switched off since giving ebay their national insurance number?

Hi there, just wondering if any body else's sales been switched off since giving ebay their national insurance number, I was asked for it on thursday, I obliged as it is the new government law and I've had no sales since, no other information relating to it has been sent to me, the previous year they had my tax return to prove who I was and that I was paying tax, so what now, have I been suspended until they check it, and I don't know about it or is it just a coincidence, because I'm stumped, thanks.

Your National Insurance number

On eBay, you can provide your NI number in advance. This means you can continue selling without any disruption or blockage. If you reach the reporting limit, we'll contact you with your sales report in January of the following year.

It shouldn't affect your sales

Hi there, thanks for replying, I know it shouldn't but unfortunately it seems to have, just odd timing coincidence is all.

It seems more than coincidence, sales have plummeted since providing the NI details last week........

Hi, I was asked for mine a couple of weeks ago.  I just did it.  I have noticed no change in sales or anything else since.
