Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Hello,

I have been researching this forum for about a month. I finally made an attempt to get back up. I have a fresh IP, VCC for registration, Fresh Bank account for deposits and a New pay as you go phone number. I chose a random address and a random stealth name (matches the VCC). Now when I went to go forward and finalise i got hit with "We had trouble verifying your identity". Now i'm being asked to upload photo ID. I'm not sure what went wrong but i'm pretty sure it will be to do with the name and address.

Please someone help and let me know where i went wrong.

Give them what They ask for.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Do you change your device (laptop) ?
What do you sell in ETSY ?

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Is there no other way to do this part im stuck here also

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Unlikely to be told what is being sold on Etsy - maybe category/group name request is ok but not specific item

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

If you don't change of devices etsy block account again. They can trace your device Mac address.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

I sell lots of different things, I used to have a lot of accounts but i didn't know about the whole linking thing and they all came down at once lol.

Im just trying to get back on quickly so i can enjoy the december traffic :heh:

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Yeah I have all good 'stealth' info but the UK they are quite tough on new registrations, I think I figured where i went wrong so ill be changing my strategy up now to get back on.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Do Etsy detect and log MAC address as well? I haven't met that anywhere in the forum. Anybody having knowledge about that?

Thankx!

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

My account has been suspended in ETSY last month.
So I have experience about this matter.
Etsy detect lp address qnd Mac so be careful next time.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

ETSY can obtain info on the computer you use? This is the first ive heard of this. I know they use cookies but if you create a new user it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

I have looked it up, browser and flash cookies need to be deleted but using the same computer can't be found out. The way is just to have a new user for each account.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

My account has been suspended last month.so I don't want to take risk.so I use all new( IP address, PayPal , device) now for etsy.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Now etsy can't trace my IP address and I am now safe.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

If you want to save money a new user will do. Having lots of devices for your accounts must be confusing and expensive.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Yes it is expensive.I am manufacturer of Fine jewelry. I want to sell my products in etsy.so I am doing this.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

They are constantly changing what lengths they will go to link us.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Did you figure out where you made mistake?

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Of course - evolution.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

Yes, too much so. Ha! I mean, I understand why, but they freeze legit accounts and leave the bad seeds.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

I've been reading a lot about ID verification lately. A lot of places verify ID based entirely on what they find out about you online as they have no access to government or DMV records. I recommend people start looking up information on passing background checks with stealth info.

Re: Failed ETSY Stealth
 

IF you link a new bank account,would the name and address of the account be the same as your Etsy name?
You cant link other people's bank account
