When is the best time to sell toys on Allegro?

Q4 dominates: November-December accounts for 40-50% of annual toy sales, driven by Mikolajki (December 6 — Polish Santa Claus day) and Christmas. Other peaks: Children's Day (June 1 — a major Polish holiday for kids), back-to-school (September), and spring for outdoor toys (April-May).

Do toy listings need to be in Polish?

Yes, mandatory. Product names, descriptions, safety warnings, and age recommendations must all be in Polish. For board games, Polish-language game instructions are essential (many games have dedicated Polish editions). AI tools like Marqetir can generate professional Polish toy listings including safety-related terminology.

What are the rules for toys designed for children under 3?

Toys for children under 3 have the strictest requirements: no small parts (choking hazard), specific material safety testing under EN 71-1/2/3, additional chemical restrictions, and mandatory "Not suitable for children under 36 months" warning (in Polish) for toys that don't meet these standards.

Can I sell toys from China directly on Allegro?

Yes, but every toy must have CE marking, EN 71 test reports from an accredited lab, and an EU-based authorized representative.
