bbbWe would like to remind you that your service status has continuously deteriorated and is below our minimum standards in Germany. Therefore, your account's selling limits may now have to be reduced. In some cases, you may even be permanently barred from selling on eBay. almost ended up in spam... I'm trying to sell the stuff from my father's estate through eBay. As most people here know, you experience the most amazing things: one person orders a nearly 25-year-old digital camera for a measly €19.90 that is technically completely outdated, but for that price expects the batteries to work perfectly and "everything else" too. Presumably I should list everything as "spare parts" and preferably just give it away? eBay moderation's conclusion was: the guy can keep the thing, gets €19.90 + shipping, and I get everything as expected too. eBay rates me as "below average" because Transactions that were canceled because the item is no longer in stockCases closed without clarification by the seller58.33%00.00% Just because 5 items were no longer in stock? out of 64 - does eBay understand that I don't have an inventory management system, I don't catalog the listings, and therefore it can happen that the goods can no longer be found after 1-2 years. What does eBay expect from private sellers? Private is "private" for a reason; what fees does eBay want to increase for me anyway? from 50% of €0 = €0 - Limitation of sales? I hardly sell anything anyway Could someone from eBay please explain to me concretely what specific measures are planned for private sellers with free accounts?
