Etsy Stealth Account Help??
 

Recently I was suspended on Etsy, and I’ve been learning stealth off of reading multiple threads and tips from other users. I feel like I know a lot, but I am trying to get everything perfect, so I am asking for help to clarify some last few questions.

Here’s what I know so far:
- New User on Laptop may be required (or delete all cookies)
- VPN (has been debated on if its successful anymore)
- new bank account
- Can keep same SSN
- new address you’ve previously been connected to
- name can be variation or complete mismatch (still trying to learn this one)
- new listing photos

Am I missing anything?
I am still struggling to understand what is allowed with the shop owner name on Etsys side.

I also have created a business bank account with legal business entity and EIN.

The last few details I’m trying to figure out is how I can get around the need for a VPN since apparently Etsy does not allow them anymore, and mainly shop owner name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Info can't be re-used. You can't use the same ssn/ein and hope that everything will be ok, its not how it works.

Name has to be stealth/new

That’s where I run into problems. My EIN and LLC has never been used before, but my SSN has. Would I need to input a legitimate SSN and name from someone else I would know?

If I used only last 4 numbers of SSN, can I use it again or not?

You must present as a new person. SSN if used before can not be used again.
