Etsy is scanning accounts

[longriver9303]

in recent days creating etsy stealth account is not possible. Looks like etsy is having a big raid on the account

Yes, certain categories are under tight scrutiny.

From our side everything is going well, except higher ratio of accounts getting under the hammer immediately after creation.

But will crack the code anyways, so far principles are the same since 2018

Pretty well it! Et si is fine with many categories, open a basket weaving shop and they'll leave you in peace for years...

they are definitely screwing with Ads too... also payments

they tried to randomly charge my card on file despite having the available balance to cover the fees? very questionable methods

What a cheerful name, looking forward to some positive contributions from you

In the cold, hard world of eCommerce in 2021 there is nothing to be positive about.

I think et sy fingerprinted your pc and noticed some discrepancies. Such as your account appearing as US-based, but the time zone on your computer and languages installed were from Sri Lanka. Something must have leaked. I use whoer.com to tell me if I'm 100% consistent with the country I assess et sy or PP from.

I agree you may want to change up your niches for a while or at least start with something new until you can establish a base. There are also accounts available for sale here on the market (worst case)-- but I would do things differently. another thing is the amount of money et $i is spending on preventative measures is incredible. with the amount of throttling they are doing on certain categories and sellers it is no surprise that it is becoming even more difficult to conduct business on this platform

[Starduster]

It's just such a shame they've become so shut down crazy!!
