Four countries, four systems. Your own country says nothing about the one next door.
In Belgium your company registration with the right activity code is enough. In the Netherlands you apply to the municipality for a market or pitch permit. In France you need a carte ambulante as soon as you sell outside your own municipality: valid four years, for a fixed fee, through the CCI or the CMA. In England and Wales the council decides whether a street trading licence is needed, and only in designated streets; it does not apply on a market with a charter or a statutory basis (Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 s.3 and Sch. 4 para 1(2)(b)).
The exception for private individuals and associations at antiques markets does not cover anyone buying to resell — not even for one Saturday a month. Once you do that you are a dealer and the rules for itinerant trading apply.

No. The authorisation to carry out itinerant activities, commonly called the pedlar's licence, has been abolished in Belgium: in Flanders since 1 April 2024, in Brussels since 1 April 2024, and in Wallonia by the decree of 27 February 2025, retroactive to 20 December 2024. A registration in the Belgian company register covering your itinerant activity is enough. A pitch is still arranged with the municipality or the market organiser.
Adding a piece is taking a photo and filling in three fields; the rest can wait. Publish the piece and it appears on the marketplace with its own address, so you can forward or share that link. Marking it sold takes it off the marketplace by itself, without you losing the row.
Vintro Pro keeps, per piece, what you paid, when, and where it came from. Your stock list and your margin VAT build themselves while you work.
