Selling Same Products from Banned Shop - Suspended Again
So I've figured out how to make a stealth shop. I can even pass the 1st sale review. But I still get suspended. This time 3 days after first sale. I am selling exactly the same print on demand products as my deactivated shop because I know that they work for me, and I suspect this is how Etsy is making the connection. But I've already taken many precautions and need some help figuring this out...
1. New images: I made entirely new mockups and used canva.com to edit some standard images that I use on every listing like the sizing chart and product features. I then wiped all metadata using batch purifier and copied these files into a new folder on a new VM. The only way they are still getting me with this is if the new images too closely resemble the old. For example I would shrink the original size guide, put a black border around the edges, change font. It's 30% new with data wiped. Maybe their AI is just that good and I need 100% new? Maybe it's able to extract the design from the mockup and compare in it's database?
2. Titles, descriptions, tags: I always make a new description with every attempt at creating new shop. But there is only so much you can change. Titles and tags have less room for change because the keywords are the keywords and that's that. But I'm told this doesn't matter anyways. It could be that my entire shop has products that closely resemble my old shop in titles. Maybe I need to mix in 50% new products? OR just make copies of listings with entirely new keywords, even if they are nonsense?
All other factors I have ruled out (ip,bank#,CC#,hardware, location etc.) it's all new and done properly.
Any ideas? |
