Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Hi! I don't know what went wrong. I've got a new IP, PayPal account, Credit Card, email, shop name, etc. Everything seems to be perfect in a few days, also got a few sales. But then I opened it one morning and it was suspended. :help:

Anyone got any idea what went wrong? Thank you

New pictures? Address in Philippines? Handmade products?

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Yes. Everything is new. I'm selling digital products.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Well there's your problem......they knew it was you right away.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

You need to create the account and not straight away list the same items. Put up random low risk items to sell first before jumping straight back into the same products.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

I see. I did list first my top selling items. Also, I did have a new paypal email but my name and bank account still the same. Is that alright?

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

If you keep listing the same products, its not. Etsy don't like asian sellers and they don't like digital products very much either.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Theres the problem.. You need ALL new details, if you use the same bank account on your etsy you will instantly get caught out. You can't reuse any of the same details.

But etsy just needed my paypal email. I thought they won’t check what’s my name in it.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Ok so did you set up a PayPal only store - not a direct checkout shop? If so as long as you changed the PayPal email and made it your primary PayPal email when adding it to etsy that shouldn't of caused any issues.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

I only add paypal to receive payments. If I add it as my way of paying etsy bill, will that cause a problem?

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

You should not be selling digital products right away

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Im not 100% sure, as I've never paid my etsy bill with PayPal. Why not add a VCC to pay your bill, or if you can pay with your shop balance?

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

I used my boyfriend’s credit card in my 2nd shop. Don’t have any more credit card to borrow. Hahaha. What’s VCC?

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

A VCC is a "Virtual Credit Card" it's not a physical card, only exist electronically.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

For Paypal only shops it's enough if you add a new email address to your paypal.

Check out the marketplace for VCC sellers.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

I see. Thanks! I’ll check out VCC.

When you created your second account did you need to provide a Social sercurity number or ID? I'm trying to learn how to make a stealth account but the thing holding me back is the SS# and the fear of ET.Sy asking for proof of the address I put.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Hi, No etsy won't ask you for an ID if you do stealth right..

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

Any luck? I am trying to figure this out as well.

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

If you can help with this, please message me. Thank you!

Re: Second shop also got SUSPENDED
 

If you want to learn how to make a stealth account , start with ebay stealth.
That'll give you the basics for most platforms even though it's written for eBay and Paypal. But practically the same thing.

Once you read that, come back in here and ask us if the steps you'll be taking will work or not and we'll help you with it.
