A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

eBay does this too. They told me they can’t access my data to delete it, that I have to log in with their website or app and send information to just get my data, let alone have it deleted.
Doesn’t ebay delete the account after certain amount of inactivity? Just let it lapse then?
Don’t think so. I haven’t been able to login to my ebay account for 10+ years, still get emails.
Doubtful - I leave my account for years at a time between logins, and it’s still active (have had the account since 2002 or so, and have had at least a 10 year span without any use).
It’s likely that even if they delete the account they wouldn’t delete the data.
