Leboncoin to Whatnot: Taking Your Collectibles to Live Selling in France
Bring your Leboncoin ads into FLUF and send the right ones to Whatnot. What each site charges, and what you still handle yourself when something sells.
7 days for £1, then from £9/month.
- Leboncoin: France’s largest classifieds site, free to list, 18 million monthly visitors, strong in collectibles.
- Whatnot: Live shopping platform in France, 6.67% commission plus payment processing, requires seller application.
- What FLUF does: it brings your Leboncoin ads into FLUF and copies the ones you choose to Whatnot. You review each listing before it goes live.
- When something sells: FLUF sees a Whatnot sale, but it cannot end a Leboncoin ad, so you delete that ad yourself. For a Leboncoin sale, you tell FLUF, and the Whatnot listing comes down.
- Cost: you can try it with 7 days for £1, then from £9/month.
Why Sell on Both Leboncoin and Whatnot?
Leboncoin reaches 18 million monthly visitors in France searching classifieds for deals. Whatnot reaches collectors globally through live auctions and streaming shows. The two platforms attract fundamentally different buyers: Leboncoin users browse actively and negotiate; Whatnot users tune in to live shows and purchase on impulse. Sellers who list collectibles on both tap into two completely different buyer motivations.
Trading cards, designer toys, vintage sneakers and collectibles perform well on both platforms because they appeal to collectors everywhere. But the sales motion is different. A Leboncoin buyer has searched specifically for your item and arrived at your listing. A Whatnot buyer is watching your live show, sees the item, and makes a purchase decision in the moment. Serving both audiences means you capture active searchers and viewers who are already engaged and watching.
| Leboncoin | Whatnot | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly visitors | 18 million (France) | Global audience, growing in France since 2024 |
| Buyer model | Browse classifieds, search, negotiate | Live shows, marketplace listings |
| Top categories | Cards, toys, vintage, sneakers, collectibles | Cards, collectibles, designer toys, sneakers |
| Seller fees | Free to list. Buyer pays 0.70€ plus 5% (delivery) or 0.99€ (hand-to-hand) | 6.67% commission plus 2.9% + €0.30 processing |
How to Crosslist from Leboncoin to Whatnot
You need accounts on both platforms. Apply to Whatnot first, as seller approval takes a few days. Once approved, crosslisting is straightforward.
- Install the FLUF browser extension. You need it to connect both Leboncoin and Whatnot to FLUF.
- Connect Leboncoin. Add Leboncoin from the Channels screen in FLUF Connect, and your Leboncoin ads come into FLUF.
- Connect Whatnot. Add Whatnot from the same screen, through the extension.
- Choose what to send. Not every Leboncoin ad suits Whatnot. Cards, designer toys, sneakers and vintage fit well. Ads you only sell for collection in person fit badly, because Whatnot buyers expect the item to be posted.
- Review and publish. FLUF copies the listing to Whatnot and shows it to you first. Change anything you like, then publish.
What happens when an item sells
This pair is only half automatic, and the half that is not matters more. Keep the table below in mind before you list anything valuable on both sites.
| Where it sells | What FLUF does | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Whatnot | Sees the sale | Delete the Leboncoin ad yourself. FLUF cannot end Leboncoin ads. |
| Leboncoin | Does not see the sale | Mark the item sold in FLUF. FLUF then ends the Whatnot listing. |
A Leboncoin buyer who has agreed a price and is waiting to collect will not be happy to hear the item went in a Whatnot show an hour ago. Deleting the Leboncoin ad is the one step you cannot skip.
Whatnot France Seller Fees in EUR
Whatnot takes a 6.67% commission plus a payment processing fee of 2.9% + €0.30 on the order total. Whatnot bills those fees without VAT if you give it a valid VAT number; otherwise VAT is added to them, as its tax guide for France explains. On a €100 card lot, expect roughly €10 to €11 to go in fees before postage.
On Leboncoin, you pay zero seller fees. The buyer pays 0.70€ plus 5% of the price (for delivery) or 0.99€ (for hand-to-hand exchange). Your €100 listing costs you nothing. The buyer decides whether to use the secure payment service.
The fee difference is substantial. Whatnot’s commission is worthwhile for high-value collectibles or sales volume. Leboncoin’s zero-fee model suits one-off sellers and low-priced lots. Running both lets you price competitively on each platform and choose which audience to pursue based on margin.
One card, two sites
Say you have a graded Pokémon card listed on Leboncoin at €50. You send it to Whatnot from FLUF, check the copy and publish it. It now sits on both sites.
A Leboncoin buyer messages you, offers €45 and you accept. You mark the card sold in FLUF, which takes the Whatnot copy down. Had it gone on Whatnot first, FLUF would have seen that sale and your job would be to delete the Leboncoin ad.
