Aside from the potential tax evasion, for years now more and more private sellers have been listing items in the "NEW" condition, but they should be required to list them using the "USED" condition or at most "NEW OTHER" precisely because, since these are purchases made for personal use, even if they are still sealed (a product can still be resealed) they are still used (the VAT on purchase is lost).If I remember correctly, the current regulations also state what I said. By now there are hundreds of sellers listing even several hundred products as NEW, and this seriously harms other professional sellers and the sales platform itself.
