Hello community, can someone explain to me what went wrong with this Wayspot? I mean that a post office is a eligible wayspot. The reasons for rejection are really questionable. Can I improve anything or was it just bad luck?

Is it a post office or just a parcel pick up point ? Because from your picture it looks like the latter and they aren't eligible
No it’s a post office. I tried to show the sidewalk and the sign. However, I couldn’t show the building with the sign and sidewalk because the building is bit farther back which can be seen on maps.
Does building has some kind of sign or visible parts that show it's a post office? If it does, nomiante the building and not this sign, and put a pin on the building. You don't have streetview in this place, so you must make good support photo to make people see it's a correct location.
I found on map that it's hard to find any pin for post office in this location, but when I found it, it was about 10m away from your location, on nearest building with number 73. I don't know if location of this pin is correct or not, but if reviewers see it and your choosen location, and see only sign of post office, they might think you're trying to make fake nomination or abuse location - I think because of that you got rejection reasons for inappropriate activity and player's abuse.
And as Theisman-ING wrote, sign itself with just postbox or parcel pick up point (that we can see on your photo) isn't eligible, you need to nominate building of post office.
So, nominate building not a sign (make main photo of building), make sure that location of pin is correct, make support photo that will show building of post office and some area near it to make reviewers be sure it's correct location (you don't have streetview, you must make good support photo), add some support text that will make reviewers sure about it location, how to find it etc.
With it it should be approved.
Is it a government ran post office or is it more like ups, purolator and fedex? If its government ran generally those are eligible and the others I listed wouldnt be
If it is a real post office, take a photo of the building. It is the building that is eligible, not a random sign.
Thanks everybody, i will try to improve my nomination
this is actually an interesting point as the post offices are not government owned any more in Germany, so by definition it should not be approved?
I saw some to rate yesterday as well and was not sure.
So what happened to it? According to the Intel Ingress Map, your candidate has not yet been included in Niantic's Wayspot database, right?
I'd also suggest looking it up on the branch finder for Post Offices in your country. If you were link to the official website and it says "this here is a Post Office", then reviewers will have no choice but to accept it. Presumably the website will show corroborating photographs as evidence.
I haven't had that much time to submit wayspots lately. Will do so soon. However, nothing goes without upgrade here. Will then try it without upgrade. But then it can also take up to a year until I get a response.
