I have a temporary job contrat à durée déterminée (CDD) already at one of the universities in France (1.5 years till the end of contract). Can I make/run an online store as micro-entrepreneur business in France at the same time?
I am already socially covered (along side my wife and child as dependents), do I still have to pay the social charges as micro-entrepreneur?
The social charges, about 14.515%, are based on 82,200 euros turnover, but if I only made annual profit of say 5,000 euros, do I still have to pay 0.14515 x 82,200 euros? Also is the turnover a net profit or total sales?

More on the turnover: It appears that the turnover is on the total sales not on the net profit. However my online store is based on drop shipping, where a customer buy something then I buy it from a third party in china and ship it to the customer’s address. So I earn the small difference between the price I sell and that I buy. How can this situation be sort out as micro-entrepreneur, r I have to register as another business type?
