Following the cessation of activity by RAKUTEN
Summary: jos-532617, a seller of second-hand books on Rakuten, expressed concerns about the platform's cessation in September 2026 and plans to transition to eBay. They are worried about eBay's limit of 250 listings per month, which could restrict sales opportunities for their over 3500 listings. lingma85 suggested registering as a professional seller to bypass these limitations, while patric7594 advised patience, noting that listings could accumulate over time by posting monthly.
Good evening,
I'm a private seller (used books) on RAKUTEN since November 2021. Since then, I've sold over 2,100 books. Also, I deeply regret the end of the business at the end of September 2026. I want to move closer to EBAY. I have more than 3,500 listings. I saw that I couldn't put up more than 250 listings per month!!!!! That greatly limits sales!!! What am I supposed to do with all these listings? Even if I import the listings, I'm limited …. I admit I'm a bit "lost". Thanks for your help and for shedding some light on this!

·3 weeks agoHello, please note the listing fees, beyond 150 listings it’s paid.
Also think about the commission fees and the legal minimum quotas before having to register as a micro-business.

·3 weeks agoHello, you can only add 250 per month but every month if you list them at a fixed price that will make 1000 after 4 months, you have to be a bit patient. I haven't checked 250, but until today it was 150.

You write------> "I am limited"
that's the lot of all private individuals who empty out attics, garages, or closets...
If you want to sell more... you have to go to the clerk's office of the commercial court to register there as a professional... and then you'll be able to sell as much as you want, but with all the constraints required by the law...
It's a choice to make...
Kind regards
