Great question! If you sell only PDF patterns, you may still need to register for a LUCID ID number for Germany. This is because Germany has new shipping rules that require all sellers to register for a LUCID ID number if they ship goods to Germany. If you don't register for a LUCID ID number, your packages may be held up in customs and not delivered to your customers in Germany.
While it's not guaranteed that Etsy will suspend your site if you don't register for a LUCID ID number, it's always best to follow the rules and regulations to avoid any potential issues. As a PDF pattern designer, it's important to stay up-to-date with any shipping regulations in the countries where you sell your patterns.
If you're unsure about whether you need to register for a LUCID ID number or have any other questions, it's always a good idea to reach out to Etsy's customer support or consult with a legal professional.
