No Lucid number provided but sales from Germany started coming in again?

[dza-4617]

Hi, 

Some time ago I received an email from ebay that due to lack of a Lucid number I will no longer be able to sell to Germany and that my listings will not be visible there. That's fine and for a few months I had zero sales but over the last few days I had multiple orders from Germany, from German based accounts.

What gives? How is this possible if ebay says they are blocking this?

Sounds like they haven't reached the deadline for when you will be blocked from selling to Germany 

I think its the end of this month or next month

I was in the same position but then had an I e-mail in German saying all my listings had been re-instated - thanks eBay! I had already deleted all my German listings....

Hi guys, I am confused. That this means lucid is not required or ebay is just throwing us into the fire to operate at our own peril? 

I received the email from ebay about sales being blocked in September, and had no sales until this month, no other comms from ebay on this matter.

I'd suggest reading this page.

It seems eBay has partnered with "Lizenzero" for LUCID compliance. My somewhat cynical gut-feeling is there will be a "licensing fee" to pay after the fact.

This is just a company they want to funnel you to pay, one among many available. The help page actually says that you still need to register and provide a number.

But taking into consideration, despite the initial block, that sales are allowed by ebay again, what would the repercussions be?
