About a representative established in France
Its seller policy asks for the registration number. It does not ask for a representative established in France.
Under French law, a producer with no establishment in France appoints a representative established in France (article L. 541-10-9-1). The same article says the obligation is deemed satisfied where a marketplace established in France sees to those obligations itself, for the products concerned, for the sales made through it, with written confirmation. It is you who determine whether that applies to you; this page does not say that a seller is exempt, nor that it is not.
