Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

Anybody got experience making Etsy usa stealth? (Not really stealth - using legit info)

My accounts keep getting suspended. Not sure if it’s my VCC used or my stealth info not being the best ?

Are they that strict with Etsy stealth info? Does it have to match credit report


Process:
Using separate browsers
Mobile IP hotspot
Sutton bank
VCC bought from here

After about 1-2 days of verifying bank and VCC , my account gets suspended

One time it asked to verify tax ID info. When my SSN is indeed correct.
Or are they pretty strict and all info has to match current credit report ?

are you using new user accounts on your computer?

what are you listing as initial sales?

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

Make the account slowly, like open the account, wait 1 week, then log in, then browse around, then wait 1 week, purchase some random crap, wait 1 week, then open a selling account, then wait 1 week, then list 1 item, wait a couple weeks, then start listing more.

Nobody sells on etsy within 24 hours of opening an account :P

Initial sales

Just bogus jigsaw puzzles. Low risk

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

Good point

I do have a successful account selling now that was opened and sold instantly

I’ll test this theory and create 7 and let it sit a week then convert to seller

There is no time to sell ,once the account is opened it is online
From immediately to few days later the lists are active

CC bought here are no good for etsy 100%.
They wont even be the proper country!!!

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

i was also wondering if the VCC is whats causing the bans..

can anyone chime in on this? what specific VCC still works for etsy USA?

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

if it's a specific seller, you should address with that seller and mods here to check

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

This is true, dont do it.

Ive had success with using a mismatched name CC but it was real, dont think it will give you trouble, it isnt charged until you dont pay a balance, or you get a refund.

If the card cant cover the refund amount its an instant and common suspension, but I didnt have a problem reinstating the account anyway (Legit Tax ID Info)


Good luck!

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

Its not a specific seller its all sellers. Most cc sold here are from India. Useless for a canada or usa account. Instant ban.

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

instant ban - then why aren't other ppl complaining hmm

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

dont think enough are buying etsy cc's

can anyone say otherwise that the CC they bought from here is good for etsy?

I have read that many CC sold by Indians are bought with stolen CC,when the cardholder found out ,he will file chargeback with his cc issuer.
They were sold at deep discount and the buyers cant resist such a great deal.

wonder what happens to all the Nigerians ??
They used to go to a local internet cafe and fabricated letters from military generals asking you to help him move millions of dollars?

OP keeps saying credit report.
Etsy does not check our credit via credit report,but all these venues have way to find out using third party.
I dont think your credit is the problem,it is the way you set up your account.
If Sutton Bank is no good,Etsy should ask you to use a different bank,not suspension

yes,once someone bought a Paypal account here which comes with SSN and used it to sell,IRS moved in and confiscated the $$ as the SSN owner owed IRS money.
The post was quickly removed by the mod

You are in USA,your bank account name must match your Etsy account name,outside USA,not a problem

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

not just by indians - the deep discount scam is perpetrated by a variety of ppl...

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

Thats because you delete all the posts that call out sellers ;)

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

LOL funny.
:)

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

hah - well i have no ability to delete posts so it wasn't me...

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

Send me a PM with the details and I can take a look

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

PM’d u

If you could please check my VCC’s from another vendor here

Might be why my ets are getting banned

Do u also sell VCC’s for EU and USA?

Re: Etsy USA stealth account bans
 

I believe that the Sutton Bank has been blacklisted by Etsy recently. I have made a couple accounts using Sutton Bank and they suspended my account within 2 days since opening. Try using brick and mortar banks like BOA or Citibank, it works.
