Trying to figure out this Etsy stealth thing....so lost!
 

I need some help....a lobotomy....or something. I had my account permanently suspended from Etsy 3 days ago. I still dont understand why. They said recent shop complaints but I dont have any open cases? They said I can appeal after July 5th. Is it better for me to try and go through the appeal process or try this stealth account approach? I keep reading and reading these posts and am so confused on how to even tackle this and what I need to do so. I am not tech savvy at all and am scared of I pay money for so.eo e to do this for me I will get scammed. I have some money to throw at the situation but I'm not an endless supply of money. I have read to purchase the Ebay stealth guide but does that translate to etsy? Also, with etsy just changing its payment process to direct checkout only....paypal stealth doesnt apply to me. Can someone please help me? I am so lost as to what to wipe out....how to save my pictures so that I can reuse them....that is my only means to product to sell. Do I need a new phone? A new computer? I know I must appear like the local idiot but when it comes to technical things I really sort of am the village idiot. Any help or telling me I'm a lost cause so I can move on and not think about this anymore would be greatly appreciated.

Appeal strongly, rarely can you stealth etsy unless you set up shop in a foreign country without direct checkout.

yes,find out why you are suspended first,before spending money on stealth.
what are you selling?
other shop complaints usually mean the items you are selling !

try it but appealing is usually useless, just make another stealth account wiht new name, ip, email, bank, address, vcc

That sounds good but it rarely works as you need to provide SSN?

yeah that's totally accurate. Don't even bother doing that, if i were you i'd open a paypal only shop
