You already do buy-to-resell on Vinted and you're registered as auto-entrepreneur. Here's what you actually pay in 2026, how much you keep at month's end, and where accounting becomes a nightmare when volume ramps up.
This guide is for resellers already registered as auto-entrepreneur doing volume (30+ sales/month, revenue under €85,000/year). If you're not registered yet or you're above the VAT franchise threshold, we cover these cases in dedicated articles.
You're auto-entrepreneur, you do 30+ sales per month on Vinted. Here's where you stand in 2026:
The URSSAF declaration part you can handle yourself. The invoices + accounting part, at your volume, that's where it gets stuck. Our partner Vinteer is the tool we recommend to automate all of it — with code BLEAM, you get -10% for life.
Since 2023, Vinted has been required to transmit each year to the French tax office (DGFiP) the list of its sellers and their revenue. This is the EU DAC7 directive — designed specifically so no one slips under the radar anymore.
Concretely, before January 31 of each year, Vinted sends tax authorities the data of all accounts that exceeded 30 sales OR €2,000 in revenue over the previous year. At 30+ sales per month, you're well above both thresholds. Your numbers are therefore known.
You can actually check the exact data transmitted by Vinted in your account (Settings → DAC7). It's what tax authorities see: amounts, transaction counts, bank details. Better make sure your URSSAF declarations match.
What this means for you in 2026: URSSAF and tax audits are increasingly automated. The administration cross-checks your DAC7 data with your declarations. A persistent gap = quasi-automatic audit, with possibility of retroactive reassessment over 3 years (up to 10 in case of fraud).

As auto-entrepreneur buy-to-resell (APE code 4779Z), your setup is simple: you declare your revenue every month (or quarter) on autoentrepreneur.urssaf.fr, and you pay a fixed percentage. No complex accounting on URSSAF side — but watch out for the mechanics.
| Contribution | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Social contributions | 12.3% | On your monthly revenue — BIC merchandise |
| Professional training (CFP) | 0.1% | Mandatory, merchant category |
| Liberatory IR (optional) | 1% | Settles your income tax at the same time |
You pay €307.50 in social contributions + €2.50 CFP + €25 liberatory IR = €335 total. You keep €2,165 before your real costs (stock purchases, packaging, non-reinvoiced shipping, CFE in December ~€240/year). Complete table for all revenue tiers right below.

The URSSAF part, you handle in 15 minutes a month. The real headache starts with invoices. Vinted provides none. As soon as you're auto-entrepreneur, you must issue a compliant invoice for each sale — yes, even for an €8 t-shirt.
And a "compliant invoice" isn't just a PDF with your name on it. There are 15 mandatory legal mentions, continuous numbering without a single gap, 10-year archiving. At 30+ sales per month, it quickly becomes unmanageable by hand — and a single mistake exposes you to fines.
What you risk if this goes wrong A €15 fine per missing mention (capped at 1/4 of invoice amount). On 600 invoices per year, the bill adds up fast. In case of characterized fraud: up to €75,000 fine (Art. 1737 CGI). And in case of audit, administration goes back 3 years minimum, sometimes 10.
We use and recommend Vinteer to all our Bleam users doing volume. It's a tool specifically designed for Vinted resellers: it connects to your account, automatically imports your sales, generates each compliant invoice with the 15 legal mentions, numbers everything without gaps, and outputs URSSAF exports ready to submit.
Mistake 1: Not declaring €0 months
Even a month without sales, you must declare €0 to URSSAF. Each miss = €52 penalty. Repeated = status cancellation. Set an alert on the 25th of each month, or use a tool that outputs the recap automatically.
Mistake 2: Declaring the wrong amount
Your revenue to declare is NOT the listed Vinted price — it's the total amount Vinted transfers you, which includes the VAT on shipping fees (which Vinted transfers to you as a logistics intermediary). Under-declaring = gap with DAC7 = guaranteed audit.
Mistake 3: Invoice numbering with gaps
Your invoices must follow a continuous sequence without a single gap. If you cancel a sale, keep the number with "CANCELLED" mention. Never a jump in the sequence. The only reliable way to avoid this at your volume: a tool that handles numbering automatically.
Mistake 4: Mixing personal and pro accounts
As soon as your revenue exceeds €10,000/year for 2 consecutive years, you must have a bank account dedicated to your activity. Not necessarily an expensive "pro" account — a second checking account works. Mixing = accounting nightmare and fiscal risk.
Mistake 5: Not anticipating the €85,000 cap
If your annual revenue nears €85,000, you risk switching to VAT the following year. That's a big regime change that needs anticipation (margin regime possible, training, possibly accountant). Not preparing = significant losses the first year as VAT-liable.
Vinted provides no invoices — it's up to you to create them, with the 15 mandatory legal mentions. Doing this manually for 30+ sales per month is time-consuming and risky. Our partner Vinteer automates everything: sales import, compliant PDF, sequential numbering, 10-year archiving, URSSAF exports. With code BLEAM you get -10% for life.
You must declare the total amount Vinted transfers to your bank account. That amount includes VAT on shipping fees (which Vinted collects from the buyer and transfers to you, as Vinted is a logistics intermediary). Under-declaring creates a gap with the DAC7 data transmitted by Vinted to tax authorities — a gap that triggers an automatic audit.
As buy-to-resell auto-entrepreneur: 12.3% social contributions + 0.1% CFP = 12.4% of your revenue. If you've activated the liberatory payment, add 1% to settle your income tax, totaling 13.4%. You also need to factor in the CFE (~€240/year, payable in December, exempt the 1st year).
Monthly or quarterly, based on what you chose at creation. For a volume reseller, monthly is generally recommended: it smooths payments and avoids a big quarterly hit. You can switch at any time from your URSSAF portal.
10 years from the issue date (Art. L123-22 Commercial Code). This applies to sales invoices, but also to your stock purchase invoices (useful if you ever switch to the VAT margin regime). In case of audit, administration can go back up to 10 years.
You become VAT-liable the following year and must collect it on your sales (20%). That's a big regime change. For reselling used goods bought from private individuals, you can opt for the margin regime which limits VAT to your commercial margin only.
