There's no such thing as hobbyists selling stuff to other hobbyists in the EU. The only exception is selling used stuff at flea market. All other sales must be cone with a registered business and then all these CE, RoHS, WEEE, warranty things apply from sale #1 on. Europe is not particularly founder friendly.
Sounds like a PITA.
Then again, how do European regulators cope with hobbyists providing each other with hardware at cost?
In the US wee wouldn't even consider that a sale, more like compensation for an expense or a transfer of goods w/o profit.
Imagine the electronic device you made and sold that hasn't been tested to comply with safety standards exploded one night and burned down the house and everyone in it died in the blaze.
You'd be held liable for causing the fire and the manslaughter of the victims probably.
The right of people to live in peace and safety trump the right of others to sell junk.
