Question Should I use VPN?

I tried to open Etsy in my country 4 times and it did not work, now I'm thinking about buying an Etsy verified shop somewhere in Europe or US, while using VPN.

The issue is, I heard many people say that using VPN on Etsy will lead to suspension.

Is this true? Any experience on this subject?

Feels like VPN would be frowned upon - unless you have a high quality, low-chance-of-abuse one

Have you tried using your mobile phone as tether, this is much better than VPN and Etsy will accept an IP address from a mobile phone provider much more easily than an IP address from a data center which a VPN will give.

So you're in Ireland.

Try tethering to your mobile phone OR see if IPBurger has a Residential IP for your country.

do not use a VPN to open an account

VPN is the most saturated/bad thing you can use for your IP honestly

You don't need Residential Proxy, just use a mobile router or tether with your phone
