Hello folks, Maybe someone can help me and judge this for me.I won an item at an auction, but then I didn’t read any emails because it was Christmas and New Year.Won it on December 22, received the first payment request from the seller on December 23 (but didn’t read it!)Then on December 26 the second payment request from the seller, and on December 29 the seller’s final reminder with a €5 reminder fee, saying I should pay the payment request, otherwise they’d take it to court.On December 29 I also received a request for clarification from eBayOn January 3 I then got this sent by the seller, but this time with a €40 reminder fee on top.Read what the seller wrote:"Since you ignored all invoices and reminders, I have already written the court dunning notice. It will then be sent out on Monday (if you still haven’t paid by the weekend). I have already added the first fee for the court dunning notice of €35 and the €5 reminder costs to the invoice. Further costs will arise if it goes to court! The consequences for your eBay account could then be a suspension, which eBay will then handle itself. " Now I’ve received the notice from the local court to comment or not, how would you react to this?.This is a problem for our entire platform. Enclosed I am sending all correspondence here:See here:First:"I actually wanted to send the item before Christmas, but unfortunately you still haven’t paid. Please pay by this evening, then I can still take it to the post office tomorrow. Kind regards"second:"2nd payment reminder: Unfortunately the item still has not been paid for. I hope you do it by tomorrow. If not, I will have to report the unpaid item to eBay and get them involved. Kind regards "third:"Final reminder / payment request ! Maybe you just forgot for some reason, but at least because of the two previous payment requests from me and those from eBay, you could/should at least have let me know! If you haven’t paid by this evening, I will unfortunately have to take legal action. Then you will have to cover reminder and court costs and possibly also attorney’s fees. We’d like to avoid that, wouldn’t we? Best regards "fourth: from January 3, 2026"Since you ignored all invoices and reminders, I have already written the court dunning notice. It will then be sent out on Monday (if you still haven’t paid by the weekend). I have already added the first fee for the court dunning notice of €35 and the €5 reminder costs to the invoice. Further costs will arise if it goes to court! The consequences for your eBay account could then be a suspension, which eBay will then handle itself. "Thanks folks and have a great start to 2026
