Electronics and WEEE EPR on eBay France
New electronics on eBay.fr can need three numbers. Used items need a packaging number at least.
What eBay asks for
eBay.fr asks for a unique identification number for each EPR category in which you sell new items, and one for packaging, for new or used items. You enter them under Account settings › Business details › EPR numbers, on a computer or tablet only. If you do not, eBay says it may charge you the matching eco-contributions, and stop you creating listings or restrict existing ones. eBay.fr
From the platform's own seller page, read on 4 October 2026: all platforms side by side.

Being charged instead
eBay says it may charge you the matching eco-contributions. On electronics that can be a real sum, because rates are per item: 
ADEME
| 1,000 items a year | Basic rate | Rate with Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Tablets | €2.98 each: €2,980 | €0.85 each: €850 |
| Smartphones | €4.42 each: €4,420 | €2.56 each: €2,560 |
| Wired hairdryers | €1.61 each: €1,610 | €0.89 each: €890 |
