New Here And New Stealther
 

I feel like I've read through these forums so much that I should know how to etsy stealth like the back of my hand but some how it did not work. Long story short I changed my ip, had a new credit card, new paypal, and completely new product and windows account. It lasted for a week but as soon as I made a new account to sell it got shut down. I was thinking maybe it was because of the same productts which was shirts but they were different enough. I use to sell tshirts for teens then I moved onto tank tops for fitness. IDK how I got linked. So I changed everything again and within 24 hours my shop was linked. I do live in a small town. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am new too and I read the forums for some days, maybe I can help you.
I think you have to start slowly selling, like you are new in Ebay.
Hope you find the answer.
Regards.

any suggestions?

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

did you wait a week after you created before you started listing?
Did you create browser history before your first listing?

I did not use these two techniques for many a months until recently cause ebay is tightening up now its a must in addition to all the other stealth methods

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Are you sure you know the BASIC of stealthing and you are correctly following each and every step?

Get the stealth guide and read it twice. List in here all the steps you take in creating your accounts and then we can start pulling you out of the mud.

I did it on etsy and not ebay and these are my exact steps. I cleared all of my cookies but still created a new user window. I got a new web browser, firefox to be specific. I made a new email address and added a new email to my paypal. I got a new credit card but it did have my real address on there but I changed the address on etsy to only have the correct zipcode but a different address. Opened my store. After my first sale they shut down my store.

Hi & welcome to the forum :yar:

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

They could possibly link that card number to your address. Even if you changed it in etsy. not 100% sure tho

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you learn stealth :thumb:

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

do any of these clothes use names or brands you don't own? same thing goes for the title and description of your item.

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

Like Unknown said, ANYTHING (a tag, a word in your description of a brand that you don't own) could have been the issue. You can't even suggest that you are similar to a brand. They don't play with that stuff.

If that was not it, are you tracking your IPs or do you only use the new IP for this one new account? ANYTHING Linked to the old, they will toss you out like last week's boiled eggs!

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

i think a ton of people are overlooking this, especially because 99% of the new members posting in Et.sy forum are completely new to ste.alth. Et.sy came down big time on this just like eB.ay did in the past.

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

But I added a New Product, and new everything. Even new Country :p
How in the world they know m same frustrated guy :)

Re: New Here And New Stealther
 

Same thing happen to me and I read they can see the metadata in the pics we use. I stripped the metadata, moved my pics to new folder on new windows user and all is fine so far.
