Somehow, my laptop and my camera seem to attract the cheaters. I had two women from the UK who wanted the article, as well as a Frenchman who bought the article now and asked me for all sorts of bank details…
Apart from the fact that my ad says I ONLY SHIP TO GERMANY, I have no good conscience with the Frenchman. He will also pull me over the table. The address was not really kosha for me…
I then canceled the purchase and set the article again. This time also in the description EXPRESSLY pointed out, that the dispatch takes place only to Germany.
Could he now theoretically show me? Could he sue something?
There was that he has 10 days to approve the process.
Ebay is always dubious…
I do not understand the problem. If you have written that you only sent to D, you do not have to be active. But why not send abroad? You want money! Ask for the shipping costs and let the money transfer. How should you pull yourself over the table when you first have the money? Maybe he is afraid to be ripped off and would like to have more information about the recipient of the money.
Do not always be so skeptical!
What problem do you have to give your account number? Your account number is part of your IBAN number. That is thus known anyway. Maybe the Franzmann is just confused. You do not need to give out your e-mail address. Correspondieren you can via Ebay. But your e-mail address is far from closing your apartment ;-)
Why is eBay becoming more and more dubious? Beacons will not be dubious because they are attacked.
You need to post the item with 'Shipping in DE.' Then someone resident outside DE can't bid.
With your said products, however, caution is also really appropriate.
Giving someone the bank details (name, IBAN) is no problem at all. Send should be when the amount is visible on the account. He will never be scammed and the annoying thing is that you have to readjust the articles over and over again and each time you have to open a case on eBay to get the fees back.
Not every foreigner is a scammer and you do not comply with legal regulations!
Even if a lot more for rip-off speaks - Nothing is proven!
And as long as the presumption of innocence is still valid in Germany, one should withhold oneself with fraud reproaches a little.
You write:

The fact is:
The charge can't be substantiated. And what would give the buyer a fake delivery address?
You write:
I then canceled the purchase and set the article again.
The fact is:
Of course, you can't cancel a purchase over which a legally binding purchase agreement has already been concluded.
Apart from that, the information from eBay does not seem to matter to you.
You write:
There was that he has 10 days to approve the process.
Good to know:
The eBay Option: Cancellation is a technical way of justifying the reimbursement of sales fees to the seller.
By consensual consent, so to speak, a termination agreement is concluded.
If the buyer does not agree, you are bound by the purchase contract. That the buyer is French does not change that fact.
At best you have excluded shipping abroad - so what?
What do you do when the buyer calls the delivery address in Germany or wants to pick it up personally?
Before such relevant issues are not clarified, it is really not clever to offer the item again for sale!
According to the principle of abstraction, the purchaser does not obtain ownership by virtue of the contract of sale, but rather the right to transfer of a purchase in the manner described.
In short: If you have sold the thing elsewhere, you have to provide for replacement. If this is only possible by paying more money than the buyer had to pay for, that alone is your risk.
You write:
Ebay is always dubious…
However, I strongly reject this accusation.
eBay only provides the online marketplace.
If you had read the terms of use (you confirmed at registration), you would know that the contract of sale is only between buyer and seller.
Are the organizers of Christmas markets dubious because there are victims of pickpockets? - Hardly likely!
Conclusion:
From my point of view, a legally binding purchase agreement has come about between you and the buyer.
If you have effectively ruled out shipping outside of Germany, you may be able to refuse to ship abroad. But not more.
Whether shipping abroad was actually effectively excluded, I dare to doubt.
You write:

You write at the end of your question:
I then canceled the purchase and set the article again. This time also in the description EXPRESSLY pointed out, that the dispatch takes place only to Germany.
My question:
Where did you point out the shipping regulations the first time, if not in the article description?
The fact is:
The shipping regulations are not included in the item description!
During the quotation you have the possibility to exclude places that you do not want to supply.
You do not give the shipping costs in the item description - or?
You ask:
Could he now theoretically show me? Could he sue something?
Good to know:
Ads in the sense of criminal charges for fraud is possible, but would bring the buyer in terms of his interests but rather little, as he would have to assert claims under the contract under civil law.
And this is even fast, easy and cheap on the so-called dunning and enforcement proceedings, which can even be set online.
Tip to conclusion:
Those who use the Internet in general and eBay in particular for their purposes should not think so limited and consider every foreigner a scam!
If you prefer regional stores, eBay classifieds might be a good alternative to eBay?!
