I understand you, I don’t see myself doing it either, but exploiting it maybe 
Here is more information
I talk about it here in my video after 2 calls with LEBONCOIN pro service.
I just saw this right now while trying to modify an ad, between leboncoin literally going haywire and Vinted where the slightest misstep can be fatal.
Selling online is becoming complicated..
Do you see any arguments against going through a personal account as a pro 
?
Because right now, unless you do huge revenue to offset the subscription, it’s not viable.
it’s illegal (concealed business sales) so there’s a theoretical risk (I say theoretical because I don’t know anyone who’s had trouble) but it exists so it’s up to everyone to decide.
Illegal if you don’t declare your turnover. Illegal for the platform because if they realize it, they ban the account.
An LBC employee was talking about it on Capital on Sunday evening.
Clearly, the idea was to declare the turnover (otherwise the question wouldn’t even arise). But from a fraud repression standpoint, it could still block things from a consumer rights perspective. Then again, in practice…
No, no, it’s illegal outright 
It’s not just about declaring turnover. It’s forbidden to hide from buyers that you are a professional, therefore using a personal account, because the guarantees to which the consumer is entitled are not displayed.
For example:
All the legally required mentions will not be displayed on a personal account
Ahhhh I had forgotten that little detail indeed.
very simple too, by being on a personal account, customers cannot use their 14-day right of withdrawal since the platform closes the sale once receipt is validated.
Yes, I knew that, and it’s not an advantage for pros, but hey, the law is the law, we have to deal with it.
I’m not too bothered by it, personally it doesn’t change much for me
It’s funny how many people publish the little details that suit them. But if you think about it carefully, you can see certain things as advantages to highlight to customers.
Hello, Le Bon Coin mentions a maximum of 50 ads for professionals, I have 1000 ads in progress. I understand I can no longer add other ads, but it mentions charging for the surplus ads. So, is it an additional 950 euros or for the new ads. Thank you
The news and those that are extended, if we stick to their FAQ, it will be nice when some people see themselves billed hundreds of euros with this change.

are you talking about the 14-day return? yes, I see it more as an advantage to offer the customer to stand out from private sellers, it sometimes helps to justify that it’s a little more expensive than a private seller (with the guarantee for example). And as I said above, it’s really something that happens to me very exceptionally so in the end it really has no impact on my business.
yes, notably. It is valid for many things, like buying a car from a private individual or from a dealership, etc.
Some people could buy the product, wear it for an event for example, then return it, but in reality, this doesn’t happen. Or return an empty package, etc., there are many abuses that could be possible and which practically don’t exist.
When I have a problem, most of the time it’s because I wasn’t careful enough about the condition, and sometimes it’s a size error.
Otherwise, apart from the fact that the money is blocked for 14 days, it’s not a problem; when the bearing is in place, it’s okay.

What conditions make your sales on Leboncoin as a professional impossible? Is it only the pricing?
they even charge for ad modifications, that’s crazy
And deleting/recreating the ad wasn’t even an option (via a dedicated plugin to save time)?
