Is there's even any hope
 

I opened a new store this month

These are the steps I took:

=New ID
=New address
=New Internet provider + USB tethering
=New PC
=New bank account
=New product images
=Deactivated geo location in Firefox
=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..

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Etsy is suspending everyone new acc during this period, suspension occurs upon creation or after the first sale.
I'm sure they are suspending new legitimate users too.
Perhaps, they have decided to no longer accept new users or self-destruct


However in your case, what item did you list?
What photos were they?

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I sell mainly digital products that I make myself, I used to sell them on Etsy for a year and made good money until I violated one rule unknowingly, and now I'm paying for it I guess.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

simply because you overthink too much. you've done too much unnecessary stuffs as it's just easy to make a new account without doing steps you mentioned.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I made 3 other account without "overthinking too much" still got suspended.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

this is not true, study more

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Can the experts give advice on how an account should be made?

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

There is a full forum where these suspensions are discussed.

I purchased paid accounts for ETSY and that was also suspended after the first sale.
I didn't use VPN, but residential proxy
I used a new VM with same timezone of coutry acc
I built cookies for the first 3 days
I uploaded no risk and handmade item, without exif and not download from google or ebay, but real pic
Not changed bank account
Bank has same name as ETSY account owner, same for card linked.

I followed all this and the account was banned. If you can tell me more you are welcome.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Literally everything they say here is not true, at least for Etsy. The platform is way too strict and no one knows how they find out it's you who opened the account.
Opening an Etsy account after being suspended is basically impossible.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

if the technology is available to Etsy,it must be available to the other venues as well?
what else do you do besides Etsy?
You get up in the morning and sign in to your ISP,where do you go,what do you do?

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Depends on which PC I use, I have two PC's and two ISP, I bought a new PC and ISP mainly to start this Etsy account, so I don't do anything on both of them besides working on Etsy.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I think that's the best way. Keep everything separate, no shenanigans , no cutting corners and keeping everything disciplined.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I think that all the correct steps are made the bank name is not the issue

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Then why did I get permanently suspended?

Re: Is there's even any hope

You need 25 posts to reply to pm's from regular members

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

a hope is the mother of stupid =D

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I Only started Etsy a few weeks ago, but they suspended my account a few months ago, I don't remember if it is permanent but they fixed it after i emailed them. So that maybe the reason or have you checked the health of the IP you used to register. Sometimes even this ISP Ip's also get abused, You said you used a New Pc but again said they detected my pc ?, and also keep track of your IP even if you are using different ISP, there is still a chance of using your old IP again.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

If you truly have been disciplined with your account making and managing, then you know it's not due to the creation.

It's something else.

BTW, i saw you deadctivated some things on your browser? I'd stop messing with the browser and let it run normally.

The only thing I'd add to my browser is an extension for IPburger and that's all I've done personally.
No anti fingerprint, or this or that extension BS.

That's old fashioned, What about timezone? What about webrtc? What about .....

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Well, did you just use the residental IP for your internet environment? That's not enough
