Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Bad Update...still have not been able to get a bank acct without ss...I am running in circles here...

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

That's because that's ill.egal in USA...

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

As Unknown mentioned.....ALL Bank Accounts require REAL information which includes a REAL SSN! If your determined to go Direct Deposit your going to be stuck forever or long time. Embrace PayPal.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Although I keep looking or a bank, for PP and DiDep, that don't need a S S just a EIN can't find one, so I am still stuck in the mud... Thanks

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Thanks MM...I will reduce my sales for about 50% but I am wasting more time, tks so much

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Why do you need an EIN only account? I haven't come across a bank account that is EIN only ever, they always require a SSN of the main account holder. It's not much of an issue with Etsy or Paypal for that matter as they don't see your SSN. The only thing I can think of is you are in the CHEX system and can't open an account, which if that's the case try a credit union bank.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Gladiator: I have been told that et.y gets your SSN through PP, there is an actual part of creating et.y acct where they ask for SS

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Who told you that etsy can get your SSN via PayPal? Why would PayPal share that information?

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Ahhhh...more misinformation. lalalalala

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

I want to stop coming to this section but some how I keep coming back! AHHHHHHH!

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

This person either can't read or follow instructions or both...

Me: When entering the bank information for ET, it may ask for the name on your bank account, give them the name you used to register ET, not your real bank account information. You cannot use false information when registering a bank account.

Her: So, I can open the bank with the 'alias name' (what about a SS # won't they ask that) then register with et.s

Me: Like I said, never try to open a bank account using an alias. Open the bank accounts in your real information. You just enter your alias information when opening PP, ET, EB. These companies can't see the name on your bank, so it doesn't matter what you enter when registering on those sites.

Her: Thanks so much, I have not been able to open a bank account without the SS. I have tried and tried in vain, I am about to give up

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Ok, sorry again I am the 1st one to admit I am not the sharpest tool also over 55) ....Forgive for my confusion, and not explaining that et.y does ask for the SS and they already have that on file and by opening a bank account which requires the SS I am going to get flagged again, ok this is how dumb I am that I purchased the wrong book on line went to amazon, because I wanted it on a download, but got someone else's guide and got me more confused. Sorry guys

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Let me ask you a question: Are you determined to add a Bank Account directly to an Etsy Account?

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Yes, thanks for asking this is my stumbling stone. With E.by everyone uses PP with Et.y 90% of the sales are direct checkout, there are few sales that I made through PP. As a matter pf fact if I did not use PP as a checkout option, I would have still be selling.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Oh and I have to clarify because perhaps some of you are not familiar with e.ty rules they DO require a SS to be able to accept payments, and this is how they link accounts now as well as if u r using the same IP . PP is not a concern of mine at all. All my shops had Direct Checkout so all of them had my SS. This why when one went down they closed all. I will get a new VPN service as DoL said, and a PO box that offers a real address, so I have been listening! :) We need a new book addressing Et.y as well... because soooo many people have been banned since they went public. I am happy their stock is down!! Therefore et.y has become more and more intrusive they also have a limit now on how many sales either qty or $ amount you can have before sending you an IRS form and most likely they will send the same info to the IRS. Don't over estimate their ways they have become militant in the past few months. Also other sellers of the same or copied items (I was copied a lot) throw you under the bus constantly. My nemesis made sure of that and she basically won.

And it's official although I appealed. Banned and can't re open all of my shops since they said I had previous IP infringements as I was using movie and cartoon characters for my kid's items. Although I removed them immediately when they notified me.

And thank you guys you have been the only ones that I can communicate all of this, no one else gets it.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

They do not require SS to accept INITIAL payments. You are misinformed.

After X amount has been received, they will ask for your Tax Identification Code.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Hi doL, I tried et.s last week and for just registering for direct check out, it requests a SS, it took me to a part where it specifically needed a ss and that was with an old buyer account that I was converting to a seller acct. I was very stealthy about it until the SS popped up! Grrrrrr so I stopped on my tracks.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

So basically you aren't going to budge on this Direct Deposit, correct? because it seems like were just going in circles on this topic. The only way to do Direct Deposit isto use someone else's information.....We tell people NOT to use anyone else's info but in the end it's your decision.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

She could make another EIN. But, that's up to her. Although, I cannot say from any experience whether or not they will want to identify the individual behind the EIN over time.

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

If my stores had done most sales on PP, I wouldn't even hesitate to open again with a few 'adjustments', but like I said direct deposit was were most of the sales came thru...

Good point on the EIN..

thanks to you both

Re: Kicked out of et.sy
 

Well think of it this way....are you making ANY sales right now? So wouldn't you rather be making SOME sales via PayPal than ZERO sales?
