Re: Have etsy caught me out? New account sales still processing.
 

The item I listed originally was never the item(s) I intended to sell. With stealths I always list a random item for the first few weeks and wait until I get a sale to make sure the account is good to go before starting to list the items I intend to sell. Its just safer so if your account does go down at least when you create a new one you aren't going to get linked on the item you sell.

Just wondering how many stealth etsy accounts do you have up and running?

I have 1 thats been good for around 6 months now, my aim is to get another 2 up and running in the next month. Its just a hassle opening new bank accounts incase they do get taken down.

Selling the same items is never the issue as long as you aren't reusing photos. I have been booted off numerous times and have shops selling the same items. As I said, I won't bow down to customers trying to rip me off so I just let the store go and move on.

I currently have 17 shops going for the holiday season: Most are PayPal only, but I have a few DC shops running just fine.

Are you selling on all of those 17 accounts? Or are some just ready to go? How do you manage them all at the same time?

Also what countries allow PayPal only?

Re: Have etsy caught me out? New account sales still processing.
 

I do sell on all 17 accounts. I can make hundreds of items a day with my equipment so selling heavily isn't much of an issue and I have friends/family who help me during the holidays to package everything. I have a digital log of my IPs - plus an old school handwritten one and I have multiple VPN's I use for some and I have a router independent of my modem to easily change my ip back and forth for local based stores and I use my iPhone for others.

Most I don't log into every day as my items do not require many questions, well they shouldn't require any if people actually read the listing and thankfully most do. I have no set pattern, just check them when I am feeling like checking them.

Any country not listed on etsy's dc list found here: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/4378

I don't think Name can effect on your account. There' a lot of people with same name as

yours.

Are you using the same paypal account ?

It won't unless it's super unique and used to actually open the account. That's a rare situation though.
