Hello, Guys, I understand that sometimes shops are reactivated without any communication. My shop was temporary suspended without any communication , and within a few hours received another email, permanently suspended. Customers started opening cases as they got scared by the automated message sent by e t s y, I froze my card. 9 out of 10 were already dispatched, labels purchased on the platform. Tried to contact them, no replies. Today I accessed my account, the suspension banner is gone, yet my listings are deactivated and they do not appear as inactive, the amount of listings is 0, I ca ..read more

Sorry if this has already been posted, but i went to create a new store tonight. And etsy require a one off upfront payment. Think it was around the 12 gbp region. Seems like a bit of a price gouge ..read more

Hey Everyone Hope you're all holding up well. I’ve been in the Etsy game for a while now, and until recently, I managed about 20 shops—all of which got banned. I've been working to get them back up since. I’m creating this thread because it sounds like we could akl benefit from swapping insights. Especially with things changing every week with Etsy at the moment and the new £12 fee which makes it expensive to test and figure out ways round these new things, Here’s a quick rundown of my current process: 1. **Setup with Incognition**: I create a new profile and run a cookie collector. After it ..read more

Messing with Etsy Stealth these couple of weeks, already matured a few buyer accounts, and preparing slowly for onboarding process. ("Sitting" in a shop name/listing page for a few days lol) I am using real bank info, an anti-detect browser with address geolocation selected for a stealth persona, a static Residential Proxy, the main warmup profile has purchase history, favorites/messages with Etsy sellers, profile description, AI-generated profile pic(it looks believable and cleared metadata), also messaged Etsy support asking for some newbie seller questions to appear more like a normie. If ..read more

To confirm my seller account I need VCC. Since I am about to create stealth account as my primary got suspended, I believe I can not use VCC connected with the same provider & details of mine (name, address, DOB) which I have used with banned account? For this reason I reached to sellers here on the marketplace, however, my concern is in regard with this new 15$ or 11pounds fee introduced by etsy. I guess this card has to be preloaded with the amount needed. Anyone went through the same process? Thoughts ..read more

Don’t know if ppl have tried to avoid suspension but I have added a partner saying they make the clothes & I print and design on them! Maybe that’s a good way around getting suspended are they manually reviewing the account after 1 st sale and looking at pics and for stuff like a partner ? If it’s obv you don’t entirely make the product from scratch yourself ? Which 99% of ppl don’t make the whole product themselves ..read more

been trying to make several accounts and most not all (like 80% got hit with the $15 setup fee) I tried business vs non business account but it did not make any difference. I am not saying my accounts are getting suspended so i think my setup is ok but not sure if anyone else is getting this or not maybe we can all brainstorm on what factors are causing this issue... my store is us and i am located in the us before anyone asks i have mex flag becuase i am a mexican citizen if that matters ..read more
