Hello @Seller_TZKEXpYtDA1xL,
Thank you for posting here on the Forums.
"I received this letter this morning. I'm in the United States and have never sold in Belgium or any other foreign market. What's going on?"
From what you have shared, I see that you have been notified that your Belgium account has been deactivated due to VAT issues and you are unfamiliar with creating this account.
This sounds like you have opted in for global selling and created stores in different regions. I suggest to hover over your store name in seller central and once the drop down populates see if the Belgium store is on the list. If so, please visit that store and address the deactivation by following the appeal options in seller central.
Once this has been addressed, if you no longer wish to have stores in other marketplaces you can contact the selling partner support team within that store to request closure of that region.
I hope you have found this to be helpful. If you have any additional questions please reach back out in this thread for further guidance. The Forums community and I are here to support you.
Wishing you the best,
LeviDylan
