Obviously commercial provider with a "private" account | Buy

While looking for a medical product, I came across a seller who currently and in the past (nearly 2,000 sales!) offers a wide range of medical products from this needed, specialized category. These are usually new goods (which should be a basic requirement for medical products). So, quite clearly not private, but commercial. Nevertheless, the account is marked “Private” and every listing includes the obligatory note “Private sale without warranty or returns”. As a buyer, you are therefore being deprived of your consumer rights, eBay is being deprived of its fees, and I won’t even start on tax and trade-law issues. The attempt to report the whole thing to eBay failed miserably: when I entered the facts and clicked on “Send report,” all I got was “The report could not be sent”. So eBay apparently has no particularly strong interest in eliminating black sheep and thus protecting buyers.
