Hi! I have been perm. banned from Etsy for having "too many complaints in a short amount of time"...over 175 sales and 4 refunds (I CHOSE to do two due to being dissatisfied with inventory).
I sell plants. Not hand made. I got a paid VPN, my mom said I could use all of her info and bam. Banned within 40 min.
What can I do? I would be interested in purchasing one as I was doing very well.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
At this point in the USA it's looking like the only option for "stealthing" etsy is to assume the identity of a good friend (with permission) and slowly reestablish your presence on Etsy while being careful not to look like your old self on there.
They're a newer platform so I guess they're more attentive when it comes to security. I haven't seen a successful etsy stealth account made with fictitious info yet.
