I have opened an online store on eBay in Germany. There is nothing special. If you just want to buy things, no verification is required.

If you want to sell things, you must fill in the real address and bank information, because there is a confirmation code in the letter that eBay sends back to you, which is very important. Only after passing the verification can the registration be considered successful. Listing products is the same as in China, but you must be cautious when using the various functions provided by eBay, because many functions are charged. In addition, if you study in Germany, you cannot engage in profit-making activities on eBay. Of course, if you only occasionally sell some things you don’t use, there is no problem. Once there is profit-making behavior and it is monitored, you will most likely be expelled. Also, never sell fakes, the consequences are very serious.
