Household packaging EPR on eBay France
eBay's packaging rule reaches further than its product rule: it applies to used items too.
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

Why used items matter here
A seller of second-hand goods may need no product-stream number on eBay and still need one for packaging, because eBay asks for it on new or used items. The parcels you send are new packaging.
Getting the number
With no establishment in France, a representative established there is compulsory since 10 July 2026, by written mandate. 
Légifrance ADEME issues one IDU per stream, through the eco-organisme you join.

You choose between Citeo, Léko and Adelphe.
Can you use your supplier's number?
eBay says you can get the number from your supplier, unless you are the producer or first importer. Shipping from abroad to French buyers, you are normally the producer yourself: how it is decided.
What it costs
Standard is €190 a year per eligible stream (up to three), up to 1 tonne a year per stream, with simplified reporting and one declaration a year; Plus is €990 a year for up to three streams, with detailed reporting that optimises your eco-contributions, up to 10 tonnes. There is no setup fee. Eco-contributions are passed on at cost, with 0% markup. See pricing or the calculator.
Léko's 2026 scale shows how little volume can matter at the small end. Under 500,000 units you can declare units per product family, with no weights. The invoice has a €95 minimum and is capped at €150 below 20,000 units.

The label
Household packaging needs the Triman logo with a sorting instruction.
