Stay on top of the German Packaging Act
We’re here to help you keep selling on eBay.de
We wanted to let you know about some important new requirements for your listings due to the German Packaging Act (VerpackG) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). These policies are aimed at protecting the environment by improving waste management, limiting the use of landfills, and stimulating innovation in recycling. To be compliant, you’ll need to license and register your packaging when you sell products in, or into Germany.
Here’s what you need to do
- License your packaging. A licensing fee will be required and our partner Lizenzero offers a straightforward solution using Interseroh+. Get started here
- Then, you’ll need to register with the LUCID database. Enter the name of your dual system and packaging quantities into LUCID to receive your LUCID ID number
- Add your LUCID ID number to your eBay seller account and you’re ready to go
Follow these steps by 1 July 2022 to stay in line with the German Packaging Act. If you don’t take the necessary measures by then, we’re legally required to restrict your selling privileges for the German market.
To help you make the adjustment as smoothly as possible, we’ve partnered with Lizenzero, who offer a full range of support services.
