Hi, I am sorry, if this sounds like a dumb question.
After being shut down on etsy, i tried to create new account.
Searched informations here and had everything new for the new account.
It worked one week, I got 16 sells and then i turned on etsy ads and in about minute i was suspended again.
Can it be because of the ads?
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
the same thing happened to me. I created a new store added 2 3 products and did nothing for 2 3 days. Then I started running Etsy ads and my account got deactivated.
The next day I created another store with everything new, added a new product, and started running Etsy ads. The account got deactivated within a few hours.
It happened today again. New store, all was OK for 2 days. 4 sells, today I started etsy ads, in few minutes store suspended. I'm now quite sure it has something to do with the ads.

My experience is recent too. Turn on ads and no suspend. There are many reasons for suspension. Posting same products from a recently suspended account will get you shut down too, even if you altered the pictures.
i sell digital items, i create every picture new, very different style of new pictures, the account always works until i turn on the ads. I created two shops, one where i started the ads was immediatelly suspended, the other where i did not try the ads is still open
one day I tried to create a store from my friend's laptop. Everything was new, IP, PC, Internet, new PayPal. New images, new products. but I always used the same Adobe application on MY PC to create the product images. My account got deactivated within few hours. I doubt it has something to do with the Images. I also cleared the EXIF data of the images before uploading.

You have to pass human inspection too (after your store is flagged by a bot), I think et sy staff can search recent suspended stores and seeing your new stealth store along side your old suspended store it would be easy to spot they are made by the same person if you are still selling the same product (even when the pictures a slightly different - still a pic of the same product). The titles and tags would still be similar too.
Anyway, this doesn't explain why I have zero problems with ads.

I think it's because you created images from your PC.
But did you use same name to create new account?
Do you live at least few miles from your friend?
Did you use same description for every product as on your suspended account?
Did you use same hashtags, prices, titles, same style for images?
There are a full team who works on security and this year they are planning to add even MORE people. They are spending 40m dollars for security....
There a number of sellers reporting their competition for ip infringement. They dont see your listing till you start advertising, when et sy receives a DMCA notice and your store is new with no ranking, it gets suspended without notice. This is why it appears to be suspended because of advertising.
