E$sy isn't supported in my country

[Jason5]

Etsy isn't supported in my country. Is it possible to sell on etsy by creating a US LLC and then signing up for etsy through that LLC?
Pls let me know if this is possible, and also, is there anything else I need?

Too big of a headache. Just create any european based account and you will eventually make it.

So if you're making a UK account, you'll need a UK IP to access the account.
And I suggest you get the IP first before even making the account.

try IPBurger

Yes, Previously I had a UK LLC and was selling on eBay but eBay shut my account so I had to close my LLC I wasn't aware about et5y that time. Currently I don't want to go through that whole process of registering for LLC and later find out et5y doesn't allow non UK resident to sign up as UK seller

Is there a solution for a bank account, other than using WISE?

They do require you to verify your identity even if you add your company's details. And you do need to submit an id document of an Etsy approved country. Although I've heard some stories of people submitting id of a non-approved country and still getting away with it.

Have you heard of Estonian e-residency? For 120 euros, the estonian government will send you an e-resident card which can be submitted to Etsy I believe.

Many many solutions but it really does depend on your location and which countries Etsy your trying to use
