Professional status, honest listings, cost transparency, data protection: the key reference points for selling by the book on a marketplace.
The first compliant reflex is transparency about your status. The Pro account lets you display your company and your VAT number (verified through VIES) and gives you a /pro/<slug> showcase with a showroom, OSM map, opening hours and contact details. The buyer knows they're dealing with an identified professional, which is both an obligation and a mark of trust.
A listing must describe the vehicle as it really is. Rely on VIN decoding (vPIC database) for reliable specifications, use real, up-to-date photos, and state the condition, mileage and history plainly. An honest description limits disputes and protects your reputation as much as your buyer.
Informing the buyer about the real cost of acquisition is part of a sound sale. Every Luxydrive listing displays the multi-country registration cost — and for France the exact calculation of the CO2 penalty (malus) + regional registration tax (carte grise) — as well as the emissions. These elements, rounded out by the fiscal horsepower calculator, give the buyer a clear picture before committing.
Luxydrive acts as a host, with after-the-fact moderation and luxury eligibility criteria. The platform provides the tool and the framework, but it's you, the professional, who sells and who remains responsible for your listings and your obligations toward the buyer. Keep this division of roles in mind with every publication.
Data protection also concerns the buyer relationship. With Lead-Bridge, your contact details and the buyer's alike stay hidden, no email is exposed, and exchanges go through secure internal messaging. You limit the circulation of personal data and naturally fall in line with a data-minimization approach.

To secure your practices, talk to a legal professional.
No. Luxydrive acts as a host, with after-the-fact moderation and luxury eligibility criteria. As a professional seller, you remain responsible for the accuracy of your listings and for meeting your obligations.
