Ebay playing silly games!

I keep getting messages from ebay saying:

ACTION NEEDED: Please update the information we requested

Your payouts are on hold until you update your account details. Please update by 30 Nov, 2023 to avoid further restrictions.

I click on the link to update my account details, and it takes me to a page showing my correct details, and with the instructions to:
  1. Locate your drivers licence, passport or government-issued ID.
  2. Enter your name below exactly as it appears on your ID
Looking at my details, they don't have my middle name (which I rarely use) and which is on my passport. Fair enough, they can have it if they want!

So, I fill it in and click save, and I get the message:

You haven't made any changes. Please review and fix the incorrect info on this page.

I have filled in the missing name numerous times, and they keep coming back to the same silly error message.

Any ideas, please? 

I'll add that we had a clearout, and we sold about £1000 worth of gear on ebay in the last year, but I can manage perfectly well without them. However, the last time I had a problem with ebay they sent me over 250 threatening emails! I'd prefer them not to embark on another harassment campaign, if possible.

No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    No idea what they are doing these days.  I keep getting messages to update my personal details.

    I have not moved and I have not changed my name so what is there to update???

    In the end, I stuck my middle name in the first name field, and that seems to have helped. Just extremely poor programming, I think.
