Fair enough - seems like your steps are good for creation so I was just thinking that it could be your products leading to suspension

Did you build or import cookies from your main browser? Most people that set up an Etsy account..or any account, should have cookies from 50-500 websites on their browser from browsing...normally. This is only one facet of why you MAY have been flagged.

Also, warming up Etsy accounts seems superfluous currently, according to alot of people. I wont say its unnecessary..but dont create an account and then set up a store three days later thinking that the account will not be flagged.

The accounts are assigned a risk profile at the time of creation.

Lets go over the top. Did you use a verifiable and unique personal ID? A physical bank account? Was your CC able to be charged? Did you set up a listing at all yet?

We need more info to help.

They are editable templates for online coaches, so they're safe.

PC was new, so was the browser and everything else, nothing imported, all new.

1- Did you use a verifiable and unique personal ID? Yep
2- A physical bank account? Check
3- Was your CC able to be charged? Yep
4- Did you set up a listing at all yet? Set up 4 listings and got one sale.

Maybe warming up was necessary, I didn't think it was important since I already had an store I created right away without warming and there was no issue.
As for the info, they're fresh so no chance that's the problem.

Personally, I like the idea of warming up with activity prior to selling

I don't know why people struggle with creating Etsy accounts while it can be easily done

I'd appreciate your help, if you can guide me through it.

Creating accounts is easy. Getting an account from creation to opening a shop successfully and listing items for sale while not getting suspended in the first month, is not so simple.

Etsy would let you open an account,a shop and when you get your first sale,then it starts looking into your setup

Yes..also I recently learned during my account testing that Etsy has secretly(?) added some items to the blacklisted catalog. Purged dozens of accounts that were in direct competition with me, sad to see them go, as it spells the end of my time being profitable on Etsy.

Also, you must be careful with writing descriptions...if you write them using AI, you will likely be banned..be careful! It happened to me!!!

I thought i was being cute by slashing the time it takes posting a listing by using AI very obviously to fill out a nice keyword-heavy description to boost listing visibility and I was banned by Etsy's AI algorithm.

Right on - in fact many online platforms operate like that.

I recently tried something new with shopify - easy creation then they start looking deeper after few initial sales

=Deactivated geo location in PC

I've done EVERYTHING there is to do not to get suspended, and STILL, yesterday I received the death mail: you are permanently suspended from Etsy.

After all of this, I really don't think there is any hope left.

I think Etsy stealth is basically impossible.

This is my experience, so maybe I should just buy a new Etsy store, but still, they detected my IP and probably have some way of detecting PC too..

Hi,would like to if you were asked to upload ID during registration?I opened an new account yesterday and hadnt been asked to upload ID. The account is still alive. Until now almost 100%successful of creations

So as long as you have different EIN's you can use the same SSN?

Unless they ask for the SSN on top of the EIN...?

It's a great question - I don't know the answer. I've only attempted to use my LLC once and it worked. If anyone else knows how many times you can use a single LLC or multiple EIN #'s, would love to know!

I've heard people say unlimited, but I've also heard people say only one. I haven't made it that far yet. Only running one account with my first LLC number.

They do ask for SSN on top of EIN now. They ask for Owner of the LLC's name, home address and SSN. This is a new development, and I don't know how to get around it
