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

Okay so after reading through many forums I just need

- new phone
- connect to wifi never used before
- new account
- new bank account
- new address with new bank account above (can you use a PO Box?)
- can the new address use your business name? (ex John Smith Jewelry)
- do you need a SSN? or can you apply for a Tax ID number?

Am I missing anything else?

No need to use real name and social - problem is if account goes down, all your info is kept by these online platforms (etsy, eb, pp, whatever you're on) - stealth works to avoid using real info.

Most bank accounts will allow deposits in stealth name so you use your stealth name when entering bank info...

Ok so then how are u making ur account if you don’t have to use r teal name and ssn?? That’s how me and a few others in here do it just fine. They definitely don’t save that info if that was the case I wouldn’t have all the accounts I do. If you don’t put in proper ssn and name they will ask you for a ID.... and it tellls u they couldn’t verify ur info..so how are u doing it??

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

I can see that you're from the UK and you posted earlier in the thread. How much success have you had with Etsy UK accounts and what's it been like within the last 2 - 3 weeks?

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.

Hi everyone,

Last year my fiancé opened up a shop under his name and ssn. We had no clue how Etsy worked and so I also opened up my own shop with my ssn and we both got banned (they linked the computer and WiFi - so now both our names and ssn are compromised)

Long story short after replacing everything, I used my moms name and ssn to open up a new shop but now I am about to hit the 20k a year and they are telling me that the name and ssn doesn’t match and need to submit IRS info. How do I go about this?
The bank account I used to deposit money is under my name so I would like to pay taxes but I’m scared that this account might get banned if I put my info. How do I go about this so that the 1099 will be under my name? I don’t want this account to get banned. Please help!

Lol! I read that someone did that so I did it as well. Not sure if it makes a difference at all (Prob not). I’m back on Etsy so I’m happy with the outcome. When I first started my listings weren’t indexed....still not sure why that is...I just deleted the listings that weren’t showing up and made new ones.
