I can help you. Possibility is high, that you are talking about one of my ads. I currently have listed more than 760 (retro) bike related sales ads there and I count myself to the biggest german retro-sellers. More than 3.000 followers there alone and a membership of more than 10 years.
The site itself used to be a child of the eBay mothersite. For quite some time now, it has been purchased by a norvegian company and since may 16th 2023 they changed name & logo. They now are only "Kleinanzeigen" which translates to: "small-sales-ads". Those you would have found in a newspaper or a magazine back in the day.
They have nothing to do anymore with eBay. You need a new login and (of course) customer support etc. has no connection whatsoever with your regular ebay (never had). You need a full new account! I think you can register there and set your location to any in Germany.
The site itself has many many pros and cons. The DO have an own payment system but only about 5% really uses it. Remember this is a website made of pure trust! You will encounter fraud ads and you will quickly learn how to deal with the site. Be prepared to do 99% trust related deals with paypal-friends only! Its a small retro bike world there. People "know" each other after some time! Do it, trust it! ...or leave it.
After all this has been and hopefully always will be first and foremost a site for private people! No Amazon sellers or regular eBay - where by now, about 88% of all sales are from bigger companies. Its a yard sale site for you and your neighbors so to say - or people selling their collections and parts!
John Rock and many other "names" I know from here and elsewhere are sneakin around there, too regularly.
I always try to help, whenever someone needs some small things there. Let me know.
Cheers
