Since the rules around GPSR are causing so many grey areas and problems, is there anyone we could contact within the European Commission or whoever sets the regulations? I have phoned ebay a couple of times but they really haven't a clue and just read from a script.
I would specifcally like to ask them what product safety information they require for any of the old car brochures or magazines I have listed in my ebay shop and how I am expected to provide contact details and an EU representative for, as an example, a 1972 brochure for a Wolseley Six, a car manufacturer no longer in business.
We really need answers to this madness.

This is exactly why many have removed EU & NI from our accounts.
Theres a very interesting video on Instagram by Holly Tucker MBE (I cant place the link but its the one Ive circled on the image if you search for her) She has experts and discusses alot of the discrepencies and issues

It seems crazy to me that books and magazines are subject to GSPR. Anything electrical, potentially hazardous, or glass products, then yes, maybe those should apply. But books and magazines?

The real madness is that because I am in Northern Ireland I will no longer be able to sell to anyone else in NI!

Probably have a conversation with your local MP to bring up the issues and challenges facing small businesses.
