Re: Etsy id verification
 

Also my previous mistake was not turning off my location on my tablet.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

New name, address and phone of someone real, (I got from phone book but I thought of using a city councillor and looking them up).
Do a Canada 411 reverse phone look up and it will confirm that person is at that address.
Get a new bank account. Tangerine online worked for me, get their routing and institution number from their website, you also get a $50 sign up bonus, use your real name.

Get a prepaid cc from Walmartor other store for $25 and register it online to the new postal code.

Change IP by unplugging computer for at least 1/2 hour.
Then change your internal IP by 1 humber. You go to your wifi and hold it down and then "manage accounts comes up" press that and then change dhcp to static and change the nlast number by one.
Turn off Google "location".

New email under new name. Gmail is best.
New user id on computer
Get new pics of your items with your new user id and have ready to go.
Write it all down,

With new user id, go to Etsy sign up.
Create new name and new store. Add pics and items. I did 2 to start.

Fill in new bank account with the new name, not yours. Banks will accept deposits with a wrong name.
Fill out anything for birthday, it doesn't matter,
It should verify with all that,
Then at the end add the new credit card with the new name and address, when you register it online (I used Vanilla prepaid) they just ask for the postal code to register it.

That's it.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

How did you bypass SSN? I understand name, phone number, etcc... and my own bank info. and creating walmart visa etc... Thanks in advance

Re: Etsy id verification
 

This right here.

And about phone number, dont they try to make us do a phone verification?

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Hes in Canada, so no ssn.. ssn is for US sellers only.

They dont ever use the phone so I would just use a valid one from any place.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Have you got a ID verification thing ?
Thats the only thing Im not sure about..

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Photoshop an ID to match the name you need. I can probably help if you don't know to photoshop. But only for educational purposes, not to actually use. Because that would be illegal

Re: Etsy id verification
 

You need to change your public IP (the one provided to you from your ISP). Most of the time this is done by restarting the router. Pull the plug, wait a few seconds, and put it in again.

What you are describing is the procedure of is changing a private IP. This will not work, as etsy won't see your private IP it'll only see your public IP and this public IP hasn't been changed by the procedure you described.

You can see your public IP on websites like whoer.net

Also you shouldn't take someones real data.

Cheers

Re: Etsy id verification
 

did you use the same device fingerprint or do you have addons for altering Canvas and Webgl fingerprint installed?
if not, do you block access to these values?

i assume you are blocking webrtc by default.

edit. well it seems like i should read better this late at night. gratulation it worked :)

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Gwyn are you still active on here? I have been trying forever to get back on. Is the address on your bank account the same at the address you gave etsy or no?

Please advise

Thanks!

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Unplugging on static internet produces a new ip number. 9 times out of 10.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Where you get a new ID is the real question =}

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Hi, you mentioned the New user id and email iin same name.

What does this mean? what's the new user id? and new email in same name? As in when you creat gmail account, the name has to be consistent with what you put into Etsy?

And the new user id, what's this id? Thanks!

Re: Etsy id verification
 

New windows user account, new email, different made up name.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Here 's what I've tried in the past few days. I created 3 accounts, one is active so for, 2 are deactivated. Please share any insights as to what you think I did wrong:

Here's how I've been openeing stealth accounts:

I use VPS from Google Cloud. I spin up a windows instance on Google cloud and use remote connection to connect to it from another PC.---->This should take care of the new IP, new computer issue.

I had new email, new name/address, new bank account, new visa

==============
Here is what happened, 1 account survived 3 days, the other less than 24 hours, the third one is still open at the moment.

So, what did I do wrong?

Re: Etsy id verification
 

I recently just opened up an account. I actually used a tablet (turn off location and did not connect to wifi once) bought a SIM card with some data, VCC, used my sisters address and info and brand new bank account with Tangerine with new address. Oh and brand new email to match my new business name.

So far it’s working.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

While nice to hear, hope your sister has no plans of her own for Etsy...

Re: Etsy id verification
 

Agree. No need to use any info from any other real person ever.
A random real address, everything else made up.

Re: Etsy id verification
 

I just used her address. Used a different name. They own the condo but it is used for rental.
