Stuck on the SSN part of ETSY
 

After reading this forum for two days, I have made my plan:

1. New windows user account/new gmail account
2. Purchased a vpn from 24vc
3. New XXXX address and name
3. New bank account with real name (It seems to be fine?)
(I read from a post which says if I change the address in the system of the bank to the XXXX address before I sign up, ETSY will be able to verify my information and will not request an ID. Is that true?)
4. SSN, two choices: (1) use my husband's ssn (the problem is how I can change his address associated with the SSN. Someone said I can changed the address in his credit report?)
(2) use a random SSN and then create an EIN. Change the SSN to EIN after I finished registering.
5. Provide an XXXX ID which matches the XXXX address and name upon requested by ETSY.


Please enlighten me on step 4 and 5. I do not want to make stupid mistakes again.

Thanks a lot in advance!
