CFE of an activity unrelated to our forum.
Without questioning the table by @Gametoysretro, it seems that the contributions can be very modest.
The table? I got it here: Cotisation fonciĆØre des entreprises (CFE) | Service Public Entreprendre
How is that without a link? There are a few special cases, but this is the general framework. On the contrary, it is totally related since we will rarely have a variable part on the rental value of real estate assets.
Afterwards, yes, there are a few exemptions and a few special cases. We would need all the elements to judge the tax return above. From memory, it came up when I started and I didnāt pay immediately. Now itās been a while since Iāve been in the given brackets.
Without a link, i.e. no merchandise sales
Normalā¦ itās for Parisians 
This is also the argument of domiciliation companies that emphasize the fact that Paris has the cheapest CFE (French business tax) in Franceā¦
The state makes up for it in other cities, particularly in the South.
But hey, after all, itās indeed not a very expensive tax:wink: (especially when you donāt declare the premises used 
)
Yes, but that changes nothing, the CFE is not linked to the activity
Itās still a bit annoying when you werenāt subject to the professional tax and then, through a sleight of hand, you find yourself paying an additional tax.

Indeed, as the other says!!! And in the Southeast, we pay full price!

Hello everyone. I would really like to try selling things on Ebay as a private individual, but where I struggle is with Europe/international: if anyone has a tip on how to properly calculate shipping costs, honestly I have a hard time understanding all the options

What do you want to calculate? You take the rates and you report them since there are no more fees taken on them, in particular. The best thing would be to create sales conditions with a delivery fees table to be able to do something professional with all the options.
Colissimo international costs ā¬14.99 for the European Union. Given the price, itās rare, but sometimes itās chosen, and itās always good to offer a home delivery solution. Chrono Classique is a little cheaper (especially if you increase the weight) and it also works well.
And otherwise, the rates for Mondial Relay:
Be careful, they are given before tax, so you have to add 20%, and to get them, you have to go through the Mondial Relais website with your linked eBay account.
Itās a shame they removed Poland; I had some sales there.

hello - As far as Iām concerned, I no longer have time to waste with eBay. So little traffic compared to Vinted.
When you have items there for several months with 1 or 2 visits, itās discouraging.
Now with the closure of Rakuten there are few choices. Vinted seems to have a monopoly.
LBC only works with France and where I am, most of my buyers are abroad, mainly in Italy. Deliveries with eBay to Italy are very expensive, soā¦
with Mondial Relay itās 5ā¬ excluding tax up to 2kg for Italy, itās quite an unbeatable price
Yes, but not far from 10 euros for home delivery. Abroad, many buyers expect delivery to their home, and this leads to all sorts of misunderstandings.
I have never had a negative feedback for a parcel shop delivery for my international sales. I have their address, it costs less in parcel shops, I choose the parcel shop closest to their address.
We have already explained to you several times why visibility is not compared in the same way.
Then perhaps you simply donāt have anything that interests people on eBay. As Iāve already said, I donāt necessarily sell the same things on both platforms.
Yes I know @Gametoysretro youāve already explained it. Thanks for your patience but this isnāt what Iām experiencing.
I donāt have a niche since Iām decluttering my house so itās very varied: old dishes, books, records, some clothes.
If I get dozens of views on Vinted in a few days and 1 or 2 views on eBay in several months, itās very clear. eBay has been losing steam in France for several years. I created an account there 20 years ago so Iāve been able to see the evolution or rather the lack of evolution. In the US itās booming but not here.
But thatās exactly what you fail to understand, views on eBay mean nothing because the essential information is on the thumbnail of the listing. Even when Iām searching, I almost never open them.
An example:
You have the condition, the price, the shipping, the sellerās status, and you can scroll through the photos.
Moreover, you just need to go into the performance section, the click-through rate is displayed there and for me (and other sellers Iāve discussed it with) it fluctuates between 0.5 and 1.5% of impressions (thatās when a user stumbles upon your listing in their search results).
Here too, one must be more measured. They stabilized after a downturn and are now making a recovery. Their revenue is increasing again, as is traffic.
Yes, in that case, it might just not be suitable for eBay.
after ebay, you really need to target international. Right now, Iām selling quite a bit in Belgium (Mondial Relay costs the same, so I can offer them free shipping as well). Germans are making me good sales, not every day, but generally on uncommon items.
Would you have the proportion of your eBay sales outside of France, in terms of number of transactions? To compare with Vinted, where on my end I observe 20-25% export.
I need to see if I have this statistic somewhere. But already on Vinted, itās much more for me. Well, I guess the book must be limited because of the languages.
Thank you very much! I wanted to calculate each shipping cost according to the items, since when you want to sell outside of France you have to set the amount yourself, which is not practical, but thank you for the table already, it will help me a lot!
