Wrong word, designation for ENAMEL SIGN
Summary: gine_1958 addressed the eBay team regarding a typographical error in certain item categories where 'EMAILSCHILD' should be corrected to 'Emailleschild' to ensure proper search and categorization. perfect-sally acknowledged the issue and promised to involve the appropriate eBay personnel to make the necessary corrections.
Hello, dear EBAY team, I hope I’m in the right community here, as I couldn’t find a logical one.
I would like to make the following suggestion here, with a request for adjustment: In the following categories "Sign type, advertising & promotion, antique & artistic metal objects" the designation = EMAIL SIGN is mistakenly listed!
There should be "Enamel sign" there, otherwise a proper search, or a correct assignment, is not possible.
The assignment by e.g. "advertising signs in enamel" therefore leads nowhere.
Thank you very much in advance for your efforts
Kind regards
Rolf

And if you supposedly are a private seller, you shouldn’t be offering mass quantities of new goods, because no one will believe that you’re acting privately, and it could get expensive!
You typically act as an entrepreneur or commercially if you:
buy items in order to resell them
sell items that you have manufactured for resale
regularly sell large quantities of items
sell similar goods over a longer period of time, especially new goods
frequently sell new items that you did not acquire for your own use
According to case law, the following are considered indications of commercial activity:
operating an eBay shop
Number of current sales: If many items are continuously sold over a longer period of time, this is generally a commercial seller
Gradual sale of a private collection over many years
Type of items sold (new or used goods, value): The sale of several similar navigation devices was classified as evidence of commercial activity – likewise the offering of 250 batteries in various sizes with reference to the availability of larger quantities.
a website or the use of advertising descriptions that make a professional impression
Note: We regularly review our sellers’ trading activities and may ask them to mark their eBay account as a business account. You should also expect to be formally warned at a cost by competitors or consumer protection associations and to be taken to court for injunctive relief.
