Is Etsy stealth even possible in the U.S.?
 

Etsy requires a ssn for the United States so if an individual from the U.S. gets banned is there any hope of getting back on with stealth?

Yes.....Hint, think outside the US.

Yes it is. So is making shops elsewhere.

Lol of course I've thought of that! But won't they just find some other way to verify your information?

Nope. Making stores in the US isn’t that hard either.

Hello Gladiator. I was trying to PM you in private but I can't. Could you explain to me how I can set up a stealth etsy store in US? I can see that etsy now require etsy payment so I need a new ssn and bank account. Should I open a new LLC and get a new EIN and open a bank account with that LLC? Is it the way to go?

Also, you mentioned "think outside US". Is it something like, I am gonna get a vpn in a country that don't have etsy checkout and choose PayPal as my payment method? If I do that, will etsy has another method to verify me?

Please help. Thank you
