..Changing a business seller account to private.. impossible! | Members help members

Since 2002, I have been on the EBAY platform and registered as a private individual.Over the 24 years, ebay has undergone various software updates. In the process, I was switched as a private seller into EBAY type "commercial seller"!!Without even asking whether I was willing to use the model.After 299 purchases and no sales, I tried to make a sale in 2026..that's when the problems started. To sell a toy airplane, a form opened with 10,000 questions.. Brand, model, product type, EAN !!! (product documents)The icing on the cake was the question "..what kind of company is it?"Sole proprietorship, registered company, charitable organization!Without answering..no toy sale!!After 50 minutes of contact with 4 ebay employees (partly in broken native language) the conclusion: ..no way to switch from commercial to private!..literally.." .. it is prohibited!!) Who writes the terms and conditions, the intern or the lawyer?Only a new registration as a private individual is possible and the 100% good ratings from 299 purchases go "down the drain"!That's customer service level ebay....no comparison with [nicht auf eBay]!!PS: .and then they even wanted 0.47 Eur for the sale.....
