Yes, eBay sellers can ship to Germany, but doing so requires more than just selecting a shipping carrier. To comply with German and EU regulations, especially concerning packaging waste, electronics, and batteries, eBay sellers must meet strict compliance obligations. Without proper registration and documentation, your products may be blocked at customs or delisted from marketplaces like eBay.
Germany’s Strict Compliance Landscape
Germany enforces several key environmental regulations to ensure extended producer responsibility (EPR). These include:
- ElektroG – Governs the sale and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
- BattG – Covers battery registration, collection, and recycling.
- VerpackG – Regulates packaging licensing and waste management.
If your product contains electronics, batteries, or any kind of packaging, you must register under the corresponding law before selling or shipping to Germany. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines, product bans, or eBay account suspension.
What Do eBay Sellers Need to Do?
Before shipping to Germany, eBay sellers must:
- Register for ElektroG (for electronics)
- Register under BattG (for batteries or battery-containing products)
- License your packaging under VerpackG
- Appoint an Authorized Representative if you’re a non-German entity
- Report quantities regularly and ensure proper recycling obligations are fulfilled
This may sound overwhelming, especially for small to medium-sized sellers. But that’s exactly where ECOPV-EU GmbH can help.
