wendy Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 We've been in the Deux Sevres since October and are now settled enough to start up our ebay business where we left off in the UK last July.I've collected various leaflets on postal charges for overseas but find it all a bit confusing and am anxious not to make any mistakes which might leave me out of pocket.Can anyone help... particularly with items weighing less than a kilo. I can't start making money 'til I've sorted this out!ThanksWendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddie Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Also be aware that the French treat an Ebay business the same as any other and you will have to pay cotisations etc. I believe that ther is info somewhere else on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 Thanks for that... we're planning to declare it all, possibly as a micro-enterprise (Though I don't expect tp make enough to pay tax on.regardsWendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beryl Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The Ebay question comes up a lot, so it would be nice to hear from some one who is making it a legitimate business in France eg how they did it, what they are having to pay out etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Lat week I came accross a little shop in an arcade (UK ) which called itself ......... "The E.Bay Shop ".... a guy was sitting at a desk with a laptop...... I assume people go in and tell him what they have to sell ......or sit while he looks up on Ebay what they want to buy. and he does the "work " for them on the laptop for a fee ? In a decent sized town I suppose there must be people with stuff to sell or want to buy at low cost on Ebay who are without internet access or dont have a clue how to go about it ......he must find it a living or he would not be there.

maude Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I dont know about how much living he makes.There is a wooden cabin arcade near us in Mervent that opens everyday,all day ,sells everything from paint,knickers,condoms,gifts etc.Only been in a few times-never seen anyone else inside.I think that he must just make enough to cover costs,just,but would probably open on the off chance than sit at home unemployed.Very French attitude it seems.
