eBay scam with shipping labels | Members help members

Hello,eBay has thrown out all providers except DHL and Post for buying shipping labels (probably because they didn’t offer the terms).I’m also aware that Deutsche Post no longer carries private parcel shipments abroad. But when printing a label for a sale to Italy, the entire Deutsche Post portfolio was suggested, including large letter. So I thought they’d negotiated special terms and bought the label.The Deutsche Post office here in the shop accepted it too, but apparently at the international shipping center they scan the eBay labels and send them back with a nasty note about violating the terms and conditions.eBay is now refusing to reimburse it; after all, I could have looked into it. To me, that borders pretty strongly on systematic fraud, because these labels actually shouldn’t be offered for shipping goods — they are definitely described incorrectly. The new Deutsche Post terms and conditions haven’t only been around for a week either. Has anyone actually managed to get their money back? I probably could also go after Deutsche Post, since they accepted it in the first place, so it’s not something I can be blamed for.All in all, of course, it’s not worth suing over 10 euros. International trade just has its quirks, there’s always some shrinkage 🙂But maybe someone has already done this without any hassle?I can’t be the first person this has happened to. Any grandma who knows nothing about it would probably have exactly this large-letter registered item printed out on eBay.Best regardsStefan
