Account Verification for London based seller
I know this title has always been here, and I thought it was posted by sellers who were not actually based in the UK. However, now I understand that even if you are based in the UK and pay all your taxes, you can still have verification issues.
I have been paying VAT for 10 years and have proof of these payments. Yet, the KYC team thinks that I may not be in the UK and haven't paid taxes. They claim that they might close my account, remove all stock, and keep the payment that I have in the account.
Is that really true? Are they allowed to do that?

"Are they allowed to do that?"
No, they are not allowed if you do live in the UK. But they don't seem to be the smartest team of people and are happy to assume your guilt without having definite proof. However, in many cases, they know the tricks that bad actors do play.
There must be something in your setup or documentation or practices etc to make them think that you are not based in the UK.
Can you think of anything?
