I want to start right now but i'm afraid of making any pivotal mistakes so early on. I don't believe based off what i've seen that Etsy is as strict as Ebay when it comes to this.

I bought a guide from a user that's no longer on the forum here. Followed it to the T. I can tell you that pretty much all the info in the guide that helped me be successful is posted by others in bits and pieces through the forum and is not too hard to figure out, but nobody wants to share straight out due to the chance they catch on and shut down those methods. I have 2 shops that have been running separately for about 2 years. I opened a 3rd because I wanted to sell different products. I keep them all their own stealth in case one gets shut down, I don't lose all 3.

I read through this forum thorougly and profusely!! Initially I submitted a new post asking questions but I took it upon myself to take action here and find some answers cause at the end of the day I’m all I got! 😂😂

I figured I’d post here what worked since there is no definitive post that tells anyone exactly what worked for them!
So let’s get into it shall we?

First things first, you need a whole new everything! In my case I ordered a iphone6 Trac phone from Best Buy and it was here in a day along with a 35$ prepaid card. DONT EVER CONNECT TO WIFI ON IT EVER THAT WILL LINK YOU

I don’t really feel like I should give away to many details publicly and my account is new here so I can’t PM people you can try pm’ing me if I can respond to them I’m unsure or we can talk via email if it’s allowed if not I am not trying to get suspended here or do anything against the rules so I will respond to anyone here! Ok nowwwww Back to the Etsy stuff

I used my own ssn and name for banking info but when it asks for account holder name I used the business name name. I would love to help whoever I could here but reading every single post about Etsy really really helped me tremendously! I remember seeing someone saying that there’s info you should ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and info you should not ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and for me common sense told me which was which. It is 100% possible to make a new Etsy account w ur name and ssn you just need a new address that’s linked to u somehow! I’d be happy to help whoever.

Thanks y’all! Will help whoever I can

P.s this isn’t my first rodeo with stealth accounts and I will also keep everyone updated on my Etsy shop as we go along here but I’m going to take it slow

Read the forum. Use the search feature. Messing up is part of learning how to do it correctly. I use phones not computers so if u mess up just buy a new sim or phone and don’t ever connect to WiFi. Ever. Or you’ll be linked operate off the cellular data strictly. Personally using a phone is easier than a computer for stealth. But using a phone I think they can track more but I always use phones for every stealth account I have. I do have stealth et.sys and they work just fine on phones really I learned how to get my Et.stys just by reading the forum. You must use ur real info when it asks for ssn address and stuff open a fresh bank account specifically Wells Fargo they allow mismatched names. But when it asks for ssn and address use a new address it must me one ur connected to otherwise y’all ask u for ID

Well I was going to follow the stealth guide but just for the etsy creation, but i'm hearing that vpns are apparently a big problem. How do you use your phone? In my situation for example, I have a mac laptop. I want 4 etsy stealth accounts so I create 4 users on my mac. Following your method, would I buy a cheap iphone 6 for example for each user, and depending on the user I would use personal hotspot on the respective iphone to connect to the internet?

You have some better and cheap options. Rather than have iPhone 6 on each accounts.

Not necessarily. If the VPNs I were going to get from IP burger cost me about 8 a month, that would be 96 a year. Per VPN. An iphone 6 would be like 50 dollars for life.

But if there's even cheaper options tell me what you mean.

Yes, that's a better option then than getting the VPN.
But getting a single device is enough for you IP Address needs tho. Just get a dynamic ip address.
Well, anyways,if you have the budget, then you should probably do it.

I meant to imply that just buying a used iphone 6 would cost that much money. But how would I use a single device for multiple users on my laptop? Would I be turning hotspot on/off constantly as I rotate accounts? And I thought that the ip address would be the same if I use personal hotspot from my phone here in my home, even if i turn it on/off

I have an internet plan that give dynamic IPs, so im utilizing that.
I just note that IPs im connecting to,and making sure i don't use it to the other accounts.
I am more on the cost-efficient side.

I meant to ask too... Sometimes I hear contradicting things but how I change my IP address on my macbook pro laptop? I heard VPNs are bad... All I know is that I am supposed to create a new mac user for each stealth account that I plan to run.

Another burning question... Does different checking/savings accounts, even if in my name, work? For example do I go to Discover and open a checking account and then use it and i'm good? And from what i've read the last 4 in social security doesn't matter right?

So... what about ID? When you put you bank account info, address etc, they ask your ID. How do you pass by this?

that's the one thing I'm getting stuck on is a SSN.
