I wish you that. Good luck!
After that, it depends on what we sell. And besides, 1000 items for sale doesnāt mean 1000 actual sales, and it could make ā¬2000 over the year. If itās only second-hand items, good luck to the tax authorities in proving itās resale.
Iām taking a step back, I opened my personal account 3 weeks ago and already have 48 sales (and not for 2 eurosā¦) Iām staying Ā« generalist Ā» on the pro account and for the personal one Iām going to try to focus on a niche⦠Iām not there yet
Have a good evening!
I donāt even sell 100 items a month lol
And what about visibility? Many complain that the pro version works much less well than the personal version. I didnāt see this problem, but for the past 15 days, I havenāt been getting many views, even though Iām publishing a lot of new content right now.
lol for? 100 articles per month, what average price? that could be a significant turnover. Forgive me, but I find you very, very relaxed for someone who has a catalog of 1500 items and a turnover I imagine of more than ā¬15k per year (after a quick calculation of your valuations/sales). There is a lesson that you have apparently neither learned nor understood: discretion. As I already said: good luck to you in 2025. It only takes an email, a phone call. You will see on D-day, the first time you receive a message or a letter, it feels quite strange, there is no more: lol and Ā« I donāt resell Ā» and Ā« I spend more on restaurants Ā», I advise you to have your bank accounts empty and especially without ANY trace of transactions (purchases for example)
Listen, I donāt really know. Itās only been 1 month. I donāt know if itās because itās a new account (Vinted is known to temporarily boost new accounts to Ā« encourage Ā» people), or if itās because I have fewer products on it, but if I only look at the conversion rate, itās certainly much higher than my professional account.
I just looked at your closet and yes, as mentioned above, youāre playing with fire there. Between the mannequins for display, the jewelry available in multiple copies, the clothes available in multiple copies in different colors, etc. ⦠it really smells more like a disguised professional than an amateur individual making space in their closet. After that, Iām not lecturing you, I donāt care, Iām just warning you.
Even without talking about taxes, be careful also with Vinted, which could block you overnight given your closet (they donāt like items in multiple copies very much, and many listings are New). All it takes is a Ā« benevolent Ā» competitor for you to get shut down.
I can Ā« communicate Ā» to him the recovery that a friend had, last December I donāt have all the details but basically hereās the case: 4 years on Vinted, 25/30K euros per year, 1200/1400 items. Denounced by email. The investigation took⦠3 weeks flat.
- Ā« Tax Ā» recovery: 17,500 euros (might as well say it was a giftā¦)
- Penalty for failure to declare: 4,500 euros x 4 (yes, really)
- VAT recovery for new products: 4,800 euros
- Vinted account deleted, she can open a professional account, but she loses all her followers etc.
You can always think youāre the cleverest cat in the jungle. Until the audit.
But like you, I couldnāt care less, I just think her case is what is called Ā« juicy Ā» for the tax authorities. >> easy money and given her arguments; Ā« I sell for my friends Ā» Ā« I donāt buy to resell »⦠itās safe to say it was wrapped up and done in 2 weeks.
I didnāt realize that because weāre not professionals, we have to make disgusting announcements.
Then I will inquire with the tax personnel and consult the information on the government website to ensure I do nothing illegal. I can also seek the advice of the family businessās lawyer if necessary.
I am sorry about what happened to your friend, however, I am still very far from the income she may have had.
Those who hide are the ones who have something to hide ![]()
Oh dear, weāre getting angry now. Thatās all the replies from me. Yours is pathetic and further proves how much you donāt listen, or worse, absolutely donāt understand the kind comments and advice weāre giving you. Believe what you want. Good luck with your Ā« family lawyer Ā»; youāll also need, incidentally, a tax advisor and an accountant.
There is absolutely no annoyance in my response, sorry if you took it that way, it was not the intention
You are talking to me about lots of huge numbers etc. I hear you, except that it is absolutely not my situation so it is not comparable with that of your friend, thatās all
Ā« I didnāt know that just because youāre not a professional, you have to make disgusting ads Ā»
Thatās not what Iām telling you, especially since even as a pro, ads and photos arenāt my strong suit, even though Iām working on it. It adds to the rest, the fact that you are well-equipped to make your ads adds to the body of evidence.
Then itās not a question of sales amount. There is no threshold that allows you to say Ā« I am not a pro Ā». The moment you make purchases with the aim of reselling, itās commerce, so it must be declared, and this from the first euro. And I repeat, itās not to preach, 99% of pros did that before really starting and itās not my problem. But there, given your closet, with similar items in several copies and different variations, it will be hard to justify. Iām just warning you and advising you to be careful, after what you do with it is your business.
As you say Ā« purchases with the aim of reselling Ā» so for that one must buy, which I do not do
Hello,
I suggest we return to the initial subject of this post, which is
Thank you all ![]()
