and did not write VIEC number on the outside.

The cost for handling at the post office you wont get refunded, but it should
be Bricklink's task to refund the taxes if you got proof of payment. It have
happen me a few times on ebay and its really easy to get them to refund taxes
as long as you have a copy of the recipt for paying taxes at Norwegian post office.
Norwegian post office on the other hand would never refund you as long as its
not possible to read VOEC number on the package some wear.

  Yesterday I recieved my first package after this new system, and sadly I had
to pay the VAT again at pick up since the VOEC number was not registered or printed
on the package by the seller.

What is my next step to get a refund of the VAT paid to BL?

VOEC HAS to be written at least in the postal address/sticker.

The BrickLink receipt to include for Customs office is sent to the seller and
he has to put it in a clear plastic pocket outside the envelope/parcel.

It's not BrickLink fault, and they won't refund you.

Please contact the seller who apparently didn't do it properly, and try to
discuss with them. Please be cool; it's brand new for Norway (on BrickLink)
and I guess MANY aren't aware...

According to bricklink instructions "You MUST NOT use BrickLink’s VOEC number
for any other purpose and NEVER write this number on your packages."

This contradicts what has been said above. Which one is it; MUST or MUST NOT?

MUST: registered on the CN 23 electronically (will not be visible on the printout)
MUST NOT: written on the package

Same as shipping from Norway to EU. Which did not work very well in the beginning
either as the Norwegian postal service had not made it possible to register the
number electronically in the start, but (except for Sweden) works very well now.

In Sweden they will charge VAT again if they suspect something is wrong, and
if you complain and document that all were correct, they will answer something
like "Yes, we can see that your information is correct, but since we charged
VAT, something must be wrong" And they will never admit that it was themselves
that made the mistake.

I'm trying to fill BL VOEC 7digit number in UPS site and it says format is
wrong.

So, I tried to add NO in the beginning and it didn't work, also played with
MVA and didn't work either.

So, is BrickLink's VOEC/TAX ID wrong or is it UPS site wrong?
