Re: I have successfully made a new Etsy account after being suspended!!!
The stealth method described by the OP is not the method you want to go for. How many shops you think you can create using same info such as 4 digits of SSN?
It might work with 1 shop, but eventually you'll hit the wall. So I suggest don't take OP's initial post as "success story" or as a learning point.
The only way to go stealth for a long-term and multiple accounts is with 100% unique info.
1) New user/laptop
2) Fresh and dedicated VPN
3) New VCC
4) New bank account
5) 100% new personal info (name, surname, address, number)
6) Docs to verify your account
7) New listing photos or with EXIF data removed if there's any
For US based forum members question: "what about SSN?" might arise.
The answer to that is: create non US based stealth accounts and add your new US bank account number to receive USD payments.
During the last week created 5 accounts (1 of them was suspended automatically after creation, 1 of them not indexed for 5 days and then became indexed, 1 of them started selling and became suspended after 1 week automatically, 1 of them got message of failed id verification, and 1 of them is selling smoothly). So only 2 out of 5 accounts are currently selling, when back in 2018 almost every account I open started selling same day without any issues. I will not state that I have perfect system in place, but after creating 100+ accounts you learn a thing or two.
My message is: you want to go stealth on this marketplace = you must bring your A game otherwise its only a matter of time until your frustration will take over and you'll post something like "stealth is dead" in this forum.
