The worse thing now, is that they have people reading sites like these and their 'hipster brooklin dufus' with their stupid little hats are in charge and close accounts based on your competitor's complaints, they close any threads that can be 'informative as well'. And is always after someone says...oh maybe you should to discuss that here...
This how they continue to change their policies to make it harder to have a stealth account. Waiting for the other shoe to drop, is too much of a pain in the butt

I'm tying to open a second shop on etsy and desperately need help.

The address is associated with your SSN now. Now, it's all legit...just legit you not normally where you are you. This probably only works a few times though, unless you a have a super common name.

I thought the last four digit of the ssn thing was to verify that you are who you say you are. Thing is I burned my ssn but I never used my wife's. I'm wondering if I can use my wife's name and ssn with a stealth address (we file jointly on taxes anyway). If so, then the question for me is how do I get around the bank account part?
I have two accounts up and running, but one of them has been hit a few times with the infringement stuff, so I stopped selling about a year ago before they could possibly hit me with another one. I wanted to open up a brand new shop selling something completely different that won't even have the potential for someone to come in and say I used their stuff. If I can't get the new account open, I guess I will have to use my old account and hope for the best since I won't be infringing on anyone's property. It would just feel good to not have to worry about being shut down.

If you had products that where risky so thats the mistake you can't give them in any chance to think does items where not handmade.
You better read there terms and services first before opening a new account again.
At this moment i have 30 shops running with no problem and where open 2 months ago. | Nice to meet you, are your 30+ stores still around? thanks

Or you will get a simple message where it says that you can never sell on etsy again. | Not in my experience, but this was with an aged account I turned into a seller account.
I was selling copyrighted manufactured high-value goods, and got my account un-suspended TWICE, once because my CC denied a $400 refund, paid the balance and emailed support, they unsuspended me.
Once again I was suspended for a chargeback on a purchase, and had my account manually reviewed and unsuspended while I had my shop going full steam, 10 listings live, $8000 in revenue from products that were technically not allowed under "handmade". This was from December 2021, until last month.
Guess the game is a bit different now? Didnt think I was so special.
Lets see... Im going to get back on there and try to peddle some wares, Ill report back.
