It rather seems to me that their lawyers are scared shitless of export regulations and want every single customer they do business with vetted.

No.  I doubt Teledyne Lecroy lawyers even know the eBay store exists; it looks much more like the eBay store trying its darndest to avoid the lawyers getting involved.  If there are any human eyes looking at the declarations, it will be by interns or the cheapest Mechanical Turks available; definitely not lawyers or paralegals or legal assistants.  Even with the kind of brand markup here, it simply does not make any business sense to do otherwise.

You believe what you want, but I know how large organizations and companies do this stuff.  Some even implement extra hoops for their customers to jump through, just to make the customers believe the company is very diligent and choosy as to who it sells to, and therefore be willing to pay more for no additional return.  It's all marketing.

I never said that lawyers or legal people would be looking over the declarations, but they may have provided instructions to do some rudimentary check like glancing at a company's website for a second. If they have their interns just see if all fields are filled with something sensible, how do you explain someone filling in their small business name getting refused? An intern rolling a dice?

Do you really think that adding obstacles for post-sales support is marketing? The fact that firmware was unavailable for download for a while, then blocking some (at least one) existing account, and now this? People won't even see this registration unless they start looking for firmware updates.

No, it's a cost-cutting measure.  Adding obstacles prior to sales is brand management, which is often considered marketing.

I do understand Lecroy is a brand you do not accept anything nonpositive about, though.

yep... even for low bandwidth (sub-GHz) or broken scopes, the administrative burden is identical...  ::)
