Tax transparency email | Selling on eBay

I received this email, which basically says that I have reached the infamous limit of 30 annual sales. Now, since I’m a private seller and I make occasional sales of items I own, almost all used, could I face any penalties? I know it’s the site’s new practice to send this documentation to the German tax authorities, who will then forward it to the Italian ones, but I thought it was eBay that required switching an account from private to professional. I don’t even have a VAT number.
