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
 

mate, i can't reply from your private message for some reason

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.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

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

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

And don't you think you tried to "protect" your computer too much ?

"=Deactivated geo location in Firefox
=Deactivated geo location in PC"

I never had done that.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I tried both using a residential proxy and a real and clean IP via mobile hotspot (definitely an IP that hasn't been abused)

In both cases I was banned a few days after the first sale

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

He said he used a new pc and new sim card so the webrtc leak don't matter, he is using his hotspot ip, there is nothing to leak

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I think you should contact them about this, Have you warmed up the account before you made a sale ?

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Where is your location and which country account did you create?

Because if you just had residental IP , it was not enough.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Yes I did, nothing worked.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

That's just extra care, nothing close to VPN or anything, it's a setting in Firefox and I figured it could help further so I used it.:nono:

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I emailed them and they replied that they can't reinstate the store.
The IP was the basically the same the whole time.
That's why I am so sure that none of the things we mention on this forum is the reason of suspension, they are taking different things into consideration.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I followed the experts btw, from usb tethering to buying new PC, I followed it all but nothing works. It seems that Etsy has a different system than the one everyone thinks they follow.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I don't need timezone, I don't need webrtc... lmao

and yes I'm old fashioned, no I haven't had any accounts suspended for MANY MANY years except the ones I made a stupid mistake on.

Like I said in another thread just now... old way works. Basic works.
We get this far in life because of OLD fashion basics and traditions, and we BUILD upon those old ways, but we NEVER abandon the old ways that have been working since inception.

a lot of times less is more and keeping it simple is better.

Most people think they need new ways and when there is a new way they don't realize the basics are all the same and they think that the newest methods will turn them into millionaires over night.

If I get $1 everytime I have to say "I told you so" , I'd be a billionaire at this point. You have no idea how many people have sworn by VPS or anti detect browser, doing stuff they aren't really supposed to do only to see them come back a few weeks or months later crying and asking for help.

Stop taking short cuts, stop instant gratification. If 1 OLD way works with the LEAST amount of risk or even is fool proof, even if at times it's a little inconvenient, I'd keep doing the inconvenient but fool proof way.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

why don't you tell us step by step in details what you've done?

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

You're asking me this?

If so the answer is YES. For IP? Yes that's more than enough.

I stick with IPburger though, so if you use a different company well that's on you

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

I attempted to create 5 stealth store after my Etsy suspension without any success UNTIL I created my own LLC. Opened a store without any issues once I did that. I still have to follow stealth method but I am thinking they were linking my social.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

You have to change the way you answer questions and change the city or location your state they catch on to patterns use the AI description etc. adapt overcome

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

How many etsy accounts can you open with 1 LLC ?

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

There is no other way they can trace you, like i told you sometimes warming up the account might be necessary, if you haven't done that and also if your info you used to register is leaked on the internet, there might be some chance that somebody else opened an account with it, that will cause suspensions.

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Still will ask you to upload ID like your passport

Re: Is there's even any hope
 

Ok to warm up the account, but they often ban after 3 days of creation.
