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?

I know very little about the US Etsy but I do know they are tightening all current loopholes - it makes me nervous about sharing info because you never know who you are sharing with - they're a tricky bunch

If the IRS are sharing information then it looiks like the EIN route is being closed down to you. I do know the UK equivalent (Limited Company) is no longer doable without directors details being given and passed

Fortunately for us we do not have an SSN that can be checked - Good luck with it and if you do find a work around please share it by PM

Open EU account, since US not possible due to SSN requirements. Or at least I couldn't crack it within 10+ attempts. Meanwhile, EU shops work fine, with 70-80% successful open rate.

1. VCC
2. Fresh and dedicated VPN
3. New Id card/passport/drivers licence
4. All 100% new info (mail, personal info, number etc, new laptop/user/virtual machine)
5. Open new bank account via payoneer to receive funds (any other new bank number works fine, mismatching names are no problem for most)
6. If you upload listings as photos that you took - purge EXIF data. If its generated in photoshop I suggest adding some elements to each photo, changing dimensions (just to be on the safe side)

Thats your success formula, good luck mate!

Any questions - feel free to PM.

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

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?

Most of it does. Just that etsy is a little picky withs cards, and they dont like VPN, but a reliablel VPN would do the work.

Got suspended again after signing up for account t using cellular data on my phone

[Tlp77]

I think I’ll buy hotspot and new laptop but can’t get around ssn requirement. Any suggestions?

[Tlp77]

I bought a stealth guide but it still doesn’t say how to get a new name and ssn. Any advice?

[Duab]

Hi mate,

1) New user/laptop
2) Fresh and dedicated VPN
3) New VCC
4) New bank account
5) 100% new personal info (name, surname, address, number)
6) Docs to verify your account
7) New listing photos or with EXIF data removed if there's any

VPN does not work now in 2020 to create new accounts. I’ve tried with two accounts and both got shut down within 24 hours.


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

I’m curious about the SSN too. I think I have everything else that I need. Just don’t have a way to get around that.

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.

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.

Did anyone try setting up your own VPS using google cloud or something?

Also, I can't afford to a buy a new laptop, how to get past this? I 've seen people mention new user/laptop, what does this mean? I have a windows 10 laptop. This can't mean creating a new user on my laptop beside my admin user right? Otherwise this seem to simple to ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

Thanks!

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

Thanks. Hope everything is still running smoothly.

Great! Can you please message me about the details of your setup? Specifically, what's the hosting service? Thanks!

[SlightRomain]

I can't write you private message, because I didn't write in this forum 25 messages yet. )
If you are interested you can write directly to guy, who helped me braverame@protonmail.com because here my competence ends.

Hi, I need to know how to get payoneer account with different name,
or any other bank account to get payment.
Also like to know isn't it risky to open a bank account with different name I mean If they find out that's not you, they will hold your funds. did it happened to anyone?

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!

Sorry ifci am not understanding but i was banned almost 5 years ago. Want to get back on etsy. You are saying that i can reuse my ssn without an issue. I also can use a different address as i have a vacation property i bought. Am i good to go? Thanks for any help you can provide. Dm if you rather not share thw details here.
