Let me add a new issue to the list:

Apparently Ebay is now blocking European users from bidding on and purchasing model kits from stateside sellers, even if the items are explictly listed with Ebay international shipping available.
I contacted Ebay’s customer service about the issue and got a completly nosensical reply about a recent policy change restricting the sales of electronic devices.

Yeah, their human resources are, let's just say, somewhat underwhelming, and the automated "responses" and chatbots are usually useless.

There is a new registration to sell to Germany called LUCID.  Sellers need to register for this.

eBay may be blocking non complying sellers for all of eBay Europe

I have to think that whoever is doing the beta-testing for all these so-called "smart" systems must be a bunch of yes-men who either have zero critical-thinking ability, or are just afraid to speak up and say the-emperor-has-no-clothes.

I have not sold on ebay for 10 years. I did a lot of sales at one time. 

Now I see why. ebay offered me $15 if I'd sell one item. Listed a model kit OOP. It sold for $40. My final return after fees etc??Less than $30.....Now I recall why I stopped.
