International tracked shipping - 2 tracking numbers available
I bought a label with Poste Italiane's international cronoservice and there are 2 tracking numbers: one under the barcode and one inside the waybill content. Even the receipt for the purchase of the label confirms the 2 numbers. Has this ever happened to anyone? Both are correctly registered in Poste's tracking system.
I'm attaching two screenshots of this error during the creation of the waybill by Poste: as you can see, in one I correctly entered the description of the contents when creating the label as "collectible cards" but on the generated waybill I don't know how they came up with "clothing". Since I also have to sign underneath declaring that I told the truth, I was thinking of crossing out the wording clothing and writing collectible cards by hand. Can you do something like that? Leaving something false seems much worse to me. What do you think?

·3 years agoGood evening onlyjody_store
Regarding your initial question in the topic, with international cronos there are two tracking codes, one for EMS and the other for the postal service.
You can track the global package tracking directly on the EMS website
https://www.ems.post/en/global-network/tracking
Basically, Poste Italiane provides the service, but it relies on EMS
Let's say having two tracking codes is an extra bit of security because it could happen that, until the destination, one of the two codes does not make it all the way to the final delivery outcome.
Kind regards.

OP3 years agoAnyway, let's close this topic here (if you want, we can open another topic instead).
Here let's stick to my initial questions if anyone has had similar experiences, thanks.

OP3 years agoI’ve had the items for sale for a month and I’ve made two sales in the last 10 days. I’m nowhere near considering it a business, and by law I really don’t think these are continuous sales.

·3 years agoAh, OK.
Tomorrow I’ll open a pizzeria downtown without any permits and completely off the books.
Then, if the customers show up and I work the way I want, I’ll ask for all the authorizations and open a VAT number too.
Perfect!

OP3 years agobut if I ever sell these things why would I bother getting everything in order? first I’ll see whether there’s a real possibility of turning it into a business and then if sales start picking up CONSISTENTLY every week then I’ll get everything in order.

Have a good evening.

·3 years agoYou have 54 items for sale worth about 1500 euros.
Considering you started 15 days ago, that’s a pretty good number...
As @marioelegio said, before worrying about an inappropriate package contents issue, I’d say to get something else sorted out...

·3 years agoNo point in being so fussy about a declaration of content and having none at all about using a private account for the organized and ongoing sale (just like a professional seller) of new boxes of collectible cards.

OP3 years agoI think you posted in the wrong topic, I started selling a week ago and I'm still trying to figure out the various shipping methods, as you can read from my post. This is my second sale, so you've definitely replied to the wrong post to say "continuative"
marioelegio
·3 years agoI didn’t get the topic wrong, if you want to open a shop you certainly can’t start selling to find out how it works.
First you get everything in order, then you start.
....... In general, you act as a professional seller if:
As you can see, what you have for sale is enough to require opening a VAT number.

OP3 years agoI’ll never open a VAT number without seeing how it goes first; there’s the possibility of waiting until reaching €5,000 in turnover, and I’m definitely not going to be the village idiot who might waste a ton of time for nothing.
In any case, we’re going off topic; let’s stay on my questions if anyone has had similar experiences to share, thanks.

·3 years agoKeep in mind that selling online is considered an ongoing sale, so a VAT number is required. The 5000 threshold does not apply in these cases because the online storefront is equivalent to a physical shop, since the listings stay online 24/7.

·3 years agoI had never really considered the idea of the online storefront being open 24h........ actually.......
I think we are moving in that direction, i.e. increasingly stricter regulations regarding those who sell without a VAT number.
Little by little, step by step (see the recently introduced DAC7 regulation), where the marketplace involved will probably also be responsible for withholding a share of the taxes to be paid.
This could already be done "tomorrow" given that eBay is already delegated and handles collecting VAT for purchases from outside the EU.
It could be something like this: the consumer buys the xyz item, uses it until they no longer need it, then either throws it away (consumerism) or, if they want, gives it away or donates it, but if they want to resell it to make some money from it (regardless of the fact that no profit has been generated compared to the purchase price), they will have to pay taxes on it, even if they sell just one item a year.
Of course, this is merely a fanciful hypothesis............
Kind regards.
