Hi all,
I’m sure I will get a lot of grief or not for this: I have been banned for commercial selling. Yes, I’m one of those sellers that bought 10+ items of the same item, listed and relisted and now got banned after 1,000 sales.
I was considering going Pro before it went down. Now I am not sure if I want to start all over again (no phone, new account, etc) and sign up for pro. However it looks like pro people are getting flagged too. So not sure if there is any point to it. What do you think? Or is there a work around (low number of listings, not selling the same things, etc)?

First question to guide you: are you a professional or not?

I’m technically not, but I am in the process of setting up a business as a sole proprietor in my country, Germany.

what do you mean by « flagged »? Flagged by whom and for what reason?
Same, I’m not sure I understand what you mean by « PRO version »? 
Do you mean signing up as a Pro (business) on Vinted? Something else?
I mean I would like to set up a Vinted Pro account
Okay. And what would block you?
You say
But I don’t think this is the case.
I don’t know the legislation in Germany, but in France, it’s very easy to create a micro-enterprise. It has almost no fixed costs, so you can have a Vinted Pro account and a Vinted personal account.
You will then be able to get an overview of how it works and the differences between the 2 types of accounts. You’ll sell a bit on both at first to gradually switch to the Pro account. This is what many Vinted Pros in France do, especially in the phase where they are learning to manage their new business.
