One other option I do have is a family member’s address that has not been used for an Et.sy nor PayPal account...would this work?

Then you use a stealth address - po box from a small mom and pop store for example...

These are stealth accounts. I created EIN (with stealth address and real info details that's needed) and it was successful on the first account which was created last year. On the latest account (with new EIN details) Etsy contacted saying IRS notified them that details does not match. I tried on another account (also new EIN details) and Etsy gave same message. Can these accounts still be saved? Anyone has issues with updating tax ID info recently? Was there an update on their system that isn't letting the stealth EIN go through?

welcome to the forum shellie.

Why don't you invest a little money and buy yourself the stealth guide?

This will save you a lot of time answering basic questions.

You can also search the forum which is very helpful for understanding how stealth works :thumb:

I clicked on the link and it says eBay/PayPal... does this apply to Etsy also as I am trying to open back up there after a ban?

Can someone let me know if 2020, Etsee will trace MAC addresses?

I tried to change VPN, MAC addresses and it's not working for me too. I spend a lot of time trying and searching for information, how to get around Etsy AI.
Solution I found is to create Virtual Cloud Machine. It's complicated, but it works. There is a engineer/programmer which I found accidentally, who remotely connected to my computer helped me to create this system. We have opened my Etsy account few months ago. Every time I'm connecting only through Cloud Machine, and its working till now. :FF:

How many accounts do you have running with the virtual cloud machine method?

Thanks. Hope everything is still running smoothly.

Two already working and third are on opening state.
Running smoothly without any problems.

Honestly ya gotta fail to perfect it and figure out what ur doing wrong and what works and what doesn’t work. I read the forum and made it on my own without asking any questions. If It didn’t work I’d just get a new SIM card and retry!

Upon opening your shop you will need to use your SSN but Etsy won’t have any access to your full SNN until it’s time to file taxes. So to get around that you will need to register for an EIN at least a month or two in advance so that it is processed before switching from your SNN to your EIN on Etsy.

If you are interested you can write directly to guy, who helped me braverame@protonmail.com because here my competence ends.

When you use an ein as a sole proprietor, etsy asks you to use your ssn as far as i know. I used a relatives info with my ein and they asked for their ssn.

For me the key things that made my shop successful were my photos, keywords and tags. I spent about 6 months researching and perfecting my SEO before I opened my shop. There are some websites you can use (not sure if I can link them on here but google will tell you!) and some are free or come with trial periods.

It's important to keep up to date with any changes Etsy make as well but essentially without good keywords and tags your products won't come up in the searches and won't be seen by customers.

A strong presence on social media is also a good way to bring traffic in. It is time consuming, because you will also need to research the best hashtags to use for your products, but once you build up a good following it will help with traffic and hopefully sales.

A mailing list is also not a bad idea. I used mine to offer coupons and birthday vouchers. Wish I could just bring all my subscribers over to the new stealth shop once it opens :(

then i tried many different methods and only virtual machine works but you will also need new Credit Card. but today my shop got suspended again and reason was that i suddenly lost connection to my internet and my VPN got shut down and when i recieved internet connection again i was on my real IP on virtual machine and maybe etsy detected it and it got suspended... but slowly we will crack this ****
