I can’t buy this article "Dr. Stähler Aktiv Horsetail Extract 1000 ml - plant strengthening agent"
Summary: ayer111 encountered an issue on eBay where they received a message stating that they need to be a registered commercial seller to purchase a bio-product. perfect-sally explained that the restriction is due to regulations in Germany and suggested trying to purchase from a different seller. voli-maus advised visiting a local store for such products and pointed to natural alternatives. meinehexe11 mentioned that they could add the item to their cart without purchasing, and elke@ebay confirmed that the error would appear at checkout regardless. ayer111 thanked the participants for their help.
I keep getting this response from eBay: "Due to restrictions on the sale of biocides in Germany, you must be a commercial seller registered with eBay in order to buy this item. You can find more information in our pesticide policy.{e296315-1273720x}" I want to buy, not sell?

Have you tried clearing the cache and deleting cookies and/or using a different browser?
Buying seems to work for me.
I added the item to my cart and could go to checkout. But I don’t want to click checkout now because I don’t actually want to buy anything.

Mentor1 month agoAnd what about that is not clear?
Are you a registered commercial seller and therefore allowed to buy such items?
There are no purely commercial buyer accounts on eBay, which is why eBay says you have to be a commercial seller or be registered as a business.

Mentor1 month agoYes, I understood that! But the hint that comes is definitely clear!
There are also products in local stores that not everyone can buy.

Mentor1 month agoThe message that comes up clearly says why it can't be purchased.
Why not just try a different seller and see if it works there?

Mentor1 month agoHello @ayer111 ,
that’s not possible.
I wouldn’t be able to buy such an article either.
Go to a hardware store or a garden center and get advice there.
And some plant pests can be controlled with natural remedies.
You can find out more online.

Mentor1 month agoWell, good question @meinehexe11 .
Maybe the lovely @elke@ebay has an answer to that ?

Mentor1 month agoHello @meinehexe11 , you can add the item to your cart, but if you then go to checkout, you’ll also get the error message shown above and won’t be able to buy the item.
@voli-maus thanks a lot for the tag.
Best regards
