I never got suspended but i want to go stealth
 

I've sold on several platforms . I want to get into etsy . I never sold on etsy or got suspended. I want to make a stealth off the rip so i can sell and get used to the platform. And in case i make any mistakes I can learn and start fresh.

-Different name?
-VCC?
-stealth paypal?
-Brand new cell with plan (easy)
-Separate computer
-Different bank account

What am I missing ? any tips ? USA seller

how did you pick a different name

I'm UK so this comment is from a UK perspective

The VCC may well trip you up - I tried with a VCC and failed - everything else was as it should be

Be sure you can cover any address issues and, annecdotaly, SSN could well be an issue

But you are clearly thinking along the right lines - Good luck with it

Doubt if you can set up etsy without submitting real details. Failed miserably several times.

Hi there,
You create a new etsy shop where ETSY payments are not eligible i.e you can get your money only via paypal, but you have to find someone de create your etsy shop abroad

The life expectancy of such an account is very short

Re: I never got suspended but i want to go stealth
 

You'll need only

-Different name?
-New email
-VCC for fees
-stealth paypal
-Separate computer or use ccleaner

So far so good

Re: I never got suspended but i want to go stealth
 

That tells me you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - no advise is far better than bad advise

Re: I never got suspended but i want to go stealth
 

From what I have read Etsy treats Copyright/trademark complaints like Ebay.

Meaning This - You can have multiple Etsy accounts with the same info and as long as no single account gets the chop due to IP complaints, you are good.

So sell on an etsy account until you get a complaint, then delete all products from that account, put that account to bed for at least a year. Then start a new account and run it until you get a complaint, put that one to bed, and start another. Etc...

As long as you never get an account banned youre good.

The problem with this approach is the limits on new accounts. But if you have patience and don't need the cash right away. This works.

European accounts are easyer than usa, but since VPN usually wont work for etsy ( atleast in the long run ) so if you manage to get the ip problem covered up i would suggest you making an european account.

Hi mate,

1) New user/laptop. You can create new user, that's it.
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

Open account with EU based info and enter your US bank details. Otherwise - get real SSN

Re: I never got suspended but i want to go stealth
 

I have 3 etsy accounts atm, the first 2 accounts got trademark complaints. So I deleted the listings, put the account on ice and started a new account.

I expect to get at least 12 accounts and then just recycle, waiting a year after each IP complaint.
