No kidding. I tried selling my items on ebay legit, but there is really no traffice for tees and tutus on ebay.
As a newbie to this site, I've done all my homework (100+ hours) reading nearly every thread, and STILL there are there is no light at the end of the tunnel for Et.sy! I'm so bummed. I just wish I was as smart as most of these people.

No, sorry...I have not made any since Dec 15.

If so, is there some secret, I don't know? I'm following the "bible" to the T but my name on the et.sy acct can not be different than the VBA, because it WILL get kicked back right away! Already tried this route. Didn't work.
Usually VBA's don't have Names registered but maybe there might be something that can work.

Also tried a new EIN number and after a few days they asked for my DL and proof of address by public utility bill! I tried sending them a proofed "for et.sy lonely" over the license, they asked me to remove it and resend it.

What is keeping you from getting back on? Just getting caught after the fact?

Yeah, given their new numbers and lower than expected new seller rate they'll cut this stupidity out soon. Even putting stealth purposes aside, the average person isn't going to give them all the info they want just to sell a few handmade items. Paypal doesn't even require all they ask for the average joe seller they target. Not sure why they thought this was a way to drive bigger numbers.

I thought it should be much easier for you to get back on since you live in Canada? What are they doing to you?

Right on! I do hope they drop the DC thing too, would be much easier and cheaper to get back on. But I doubt they would change it back
Re: How to do etsy stealth with the new SSN update?
Now on EU based et.sy stores, they are asking for a EIN. Does anyone have a clue how to avoid this?
I've been suspended before, never used EIN though, but do they have any way of linking my address with EIN? Do they have feedback from IRS, for example?
This is a new feature they have implemented for EU based stores.
I haven't inserted it yet, but I will have to sooner or later :(
Re: How to do etsy stealth with the new SSN update?
There is info out there on how to get back. just gotta read and put the puzzle together. i don't wanna sound ungrateful and not wanna help but this stealth way is so fragile imo if one gets caught we all get burned. so will not be posting info on how to get back.
just gotta read it took me one try. and a week worth of reading
and a total process of 3 weeks to not get burned
