Bot suspended account
 

So after creating i listed 4 items, 2 days later i list 5 more, and i get a message that i`m suspended, obviously it was not a human ban, no email from them yet, i`m using the same phone i used on previous accounts, ( wifi off ) so any idea waht could have triggered it? alvo the credit cards i used are not in the same name as my account but they cant see the name on the card so/

I live in Greece and I used one German virtual bank account for deposits and one UK for virtual card for paying the fees and.so far everything is fine so I believe that's not the problem.

Did you use stealth name creating the virtual bank account and the virtual card? Thanks!

Are you selling risky, branded items?

If you managed to open an account and it was not shut down within first minutes or hours, 99% chances are your method is good.

In cases like this hammer comes down because of your items.

digital items on Etsy is a big no no especially with a brand new account

Re: Bot suspended account
 

Etsy cant see the name on the credit card,Etsy usuallly shut down the account when an order comes in,may be it has changed now.
It could be your phone!

To be more precise, they shut down most accounts upon creation. Around 90% shut downs are immediately after creating an account.

Also when opening an account I saw the best practise is to pass first sale verification by selling lowest risk items possible. If you want to make it quick- make 90% discount on your first item.

After initial verification (processing order), which takes up to 48 hours, your account is verified and you can start listing more risky items.

i dont usually ger processing order, only a congrats on your first sale, sometimes like 3rd 5th or whatever item gets processing, but i thinks its a problem on buyers card or whatever
