eBay

eBay tells me (twice) that my "Action is needed" regarding shipping of a book (I am the buyer).
They seem to need it for "further details on delivery". The package has been shipped, so the information (my birth number): Please have (fødselsnummer) available for final customs clearance and delivery of your order.
I'm not quite sure if I am supposed to just "have it available" somewhere, or if i should provide the carrier or the seller with it. The eBay pages did not make me much wiser, although that may be my own fault.
Can anyone help?

@okvaal,

Since you are located in Norway, you probably signed up to use ebay, from one of their European sites, like ebay U.K. (ebay.co.uk) or the German/Deutschland site (ebay.de.com). This question could be better answered by posting your issue on that site's community.

Having said that, I know that some countries customs or postal services do require some form of verification before an international package can be delivered or picked up from an office. So I do not think that giving your birth date would be an unusual request.
