Missing phone number for eBay Germany Orders?

Due to eBay Germany privacy policy by default when we get orders from eBay Germany we will get the phone number down as "Invalid Requset" - this shows in StoreFeeder as a blank phone number.

You will be able to see the phone number in eBay and on the buyers profile, it's specifically blocked in the API for eBay Germany orders.

There is a workaround for this which will enable us to get the phone numbers but you will need to change a setting on your ebay Germany Account. 

1. Log into your eBay Germany account.
2. Navigate to Account -> Site Preferences
3. Go to "Shipping Preferences"
4. Enable the setting "Require phone number for shipping"

❗Please note: Enabling this option does have a drawback - this setting will make phone numbers mandatory at checkout for orders made through the eBay Germany Marketplace so you may not wish to enable it.
