Hi. With Aldi and Lidl it's difficult, as both supermarket chains limit the sale of their SIM outside of their markets, while e.g. Congstar is officially sold on Amazon. So no small vendors will comercially distribute them on Ebay. That's why I wrote "most of the offers".

But you may be lucky, when a private person sells its still unregistered SIM on these platforms e.g. article no. 390892363440 on ebay.de (don't take the pic for granted). But already registered SIMs people rarely sell.

Have in mind that the advantages are only, that you know your number before and don't have to look for sales outlets. I don't think that you can do the registration/activation already from abroad, because you have to be logged into the respective German network with your SIM.

That's why the procedures written with the two other offers on the European Union section wont work. You can't use these SIMs for roaming only with the EU package activated without entering Germany physically first for activation.
