Thanks for the answer(s).
I suspect these Ebay sellers are NOT the person who originally registered. The ads often say registered to a company. Do I understand correctly that if only ONE party, the buyer, signs, then the deal is not official?
THEREFORE, unless one really does not care too much for a longer term relationship with the provider or need to change tarifs, the re-registration could be avoided, although it might be illegal or against the rules and regs (AGB).
I suspose the best advice to anyone would be:
1. Buy a new card -- better solution
2. Be wary of used cards and don't expect much support unless the seller agrees to transfer registration.
