USA Etsy Stealth Seller Account? possible in 2025?

[Automasters]

I'd say Etsy is harder than egay at this point regarding stealth - I have five different Etsy shops for several years and they restrict based on volume now, so they are very iffy

Just a heads-up, I don’t offer any services . I’m new here myself and don’t want to risk getting banned.

Happy to chat and help where I can!

Understood, i will shoot you a message when I can. My account is limited until I make 25 posts i guess?

I recommend you guys talk about it in the forum so everyone can pitch in.

Can't agree more....

To be honest, it’s hard to say exactly why your Etsy setups keep getting banned, there just isn’t enough detail.

I thought this might be an option as well. Would i be able to switch the payment bank account to my own if i were to purchase a store from another Etsy seller?

have you tried contacting etsy support, did you ask them to reinstate your account,
sometime they suspend the account for verification purpose, i had got my shop suspended for some time, but someone told me to ask etsy to re-open the account, i made an appeal submit it and it's opened.
i am selling digital products, i dont know about the physical product how does it work.

Hi
I can’t reply to private messages yet because I don’t have 25 posts on the forum, but I can read your messages and respond here

I buy Ukrainian SIM cards on eBay, it’s pretty easy to find them there.

To create a Ukrainian Etsy account, you’ll also need a Ukrainian Payoneer account.
A U.S. Payoneer account won’t work, since Etsy requires the country of your Payoneer and Etsy accounts to match.

Yes, same here my account is also limited until I make 25 posts, so I can’t send private messages yet either.

Feel free to ask here, and I’ll help however I can!

Can you do a write up / post about how you are creating these accounts?

Highly unlikely given his only agenda here is to sell etsy accounts.

Hi! Thanks for your message.
At the moment, I can’t send private messages because my account doesn’t meet the minimum post requirement.

But if you write to me in private, I’ll be able to read your message and respond here. Looking forward to hearing from you!

You're absolutely right I’m here mainly to offer Etsy accounts, that’s true and I’m being transparent about it.😊

That said, I’m also not against helping the community. If someone has a specific question about registration, verification, or setup, I’m happy to answer and share my experience where I can.

I’m not here to spam or mislead anyone just offering something useful, and I respect the space.

That’s fair. I have seen some sellers on here make write ups about how they’re creating the same accounts they’re selling which i feel is transparent.

And your eagerness to send PMs to members on here will likely ensure that will never happen. You'll get caught selling accounts via PM and banned long before you gain enough trust to be given a seller thread.

Just my opinion of course.

I understand your point, and I appreciate your honesty.
I’m definitely trying to be mindful of the rules here I’m not spamming or pushing anything aggressively in DMs.
If someone messages me first, I just try to help or respond respectfully. I get that trust is earned over time, and that’s totally fair.

Thanks again for the feedback noted.

I get what you mean and I agree that transparency is important.
But to be honest, explaining the entire process in one write-up is not only difficult, but often not that helpful.

Some people need to start with basics like what’s the difference between a proxy and a VPN, while others may just be missing one small detail in their setup. That’s why I find it more effective to simply answer specific questions rather than trying to cover everything in one post.

Happy to share what I know just ask!

Yes I’m happy to see you on here spreading good information! I suppose my biggest issue is not having any family / friends that would allow me to use their info for an Etsy account, so I have no way to pass verification for an Etsy account. I understand it’s likely a huge write up if you were to lay out the entire process, however, would it be possible to provide me with a brief amount of info of what / how the process of creating a Ukrainian account looks like?

Thanks for your insight here Alex
