Re: Etsy bank account verification through PLAID and whether it shares name
Has anyone (who is already an existing seller, not a new account), already dealt with the new request to confirm your name? Want to make sure I do not make a mistake with it. Helpful advice would be appreciated
Re: Etsy bank account verification through PLAID and whether it shares name
What I did was where they asked for what name to use for my bank account I gave them the name I had under legal info. Then I verified using manual with plaid using the name that matches my bank account. Got the micro deposits and I have now been verified. So far so good.

Yup! On another interesting note,on Etsy specifically I received two frantic emails months apart from two separate "customers" who each claimed that their accounts where hacked to buy my high-value items and to cancel the orders, which I did...fraudulent transactions, and many suspicious purchases of upwards of $2,000 turned out to be using fresh accounts with stolen credit cards.

Yep! Got lucky, and was able to stop some customers from being defrauded, the first guy told me to be careful with odd customers making huge purchases, he had already notified the FBI 0.0 xD
