I came across a post on a forum titled “How many stealth Etsy accounts do you have? “One of the replies: “I’m about to set up my first Stealth E. I opened my first store and did about $2800 in sales in the first 45 days, and then I was banned for not filling out my outside manufacturers stuff correctly. I opened a 2nd store (Non Stealth) just using different name, bank, ssn, and it got banned after sale. #1… I didnt realize they track images, ips, been researching and working on setting up a Stealth account. I’m in the U. S., so I’m still trying to figure out how to get around the after today / tomorrow… I’ll have my first Stealth set up. Hopefully I can report back soon a successful Stealth account that’s super profitable! “What are they talking about?

Re: Stealth Etsy account??
@xoDaniBreen I believe they are talking about a seller’s account that would not identify them since they are basically banned from opening another account. I’m surprised this person did not consider that Etsy would track ip addresses (the address that identifies your computer’s internet connection). I think Etsy probably tracks more than just that. He also mentioned that Etsy may be keeping track of images, these are probably product images. So if a shop has product images that match up with those found on a banned account then this would probably be a big red flag.
whatever etsy does, it’s not on IP addressin the UK we have dynnamic IP addressing, mine changes at least weekly, I’ve been here since 2014by now, with everyone elses in the UK, changing at least weekly too, I must be linked to everyone in the UK by now
Google “stealth Etsy account” and there are tons of links on how to create an account after you’ve been suspended. It involves illegal activity like using someone else’s ID.
The point is Etsy banned you for being an illegal seller and you want an Etsy shop. So you lie and cheat and open another,, because lying and cheating worked so well for you the first time…
too bad some people spend time on figuring out how to set up stealth accounts instead of figuring out how to follow the rules so that they can avoid needing a stealth account
This is so unbelievably disappointing and infuriating. We all (including etsy) know there are cheaters, scammers, and flat-out liars selling here. They should clean it up. It hurts everyone (buyers, sellers, and etsy itself). Imagine the surge in credibility etsy would have if they enforced rules and investigated rather than tacitly accepting and turning a blind eye.
These sites have existed for years. Many banned sellers want another crack at Etsy and are willing to do anything to get it. They were banned for various reasons – IP violations, non-delivery, items not being Etsy-legal to sell, too many cases requiring ID for an Etsy Payments account helped slow this down, and no doubt blocking IP addresses helps too.

How to Create a Stealth Etsy Accounts – Best Proxy Reviews
Are you looking forward to creating stealth Etsy accounts but do not know to get it done to avoid getting it detected and blocked? Then you are on the right page as you will be shown how to create Etsy accounts that can stand the test of is the marketplace for handmade, vintage, and custom, and unique gifts. While buyers have a free pass and are treated like kings, the same can’t be said of sellers. If you are a seller on Etsy, there are higher chances of getting your account suspended than if you are a are stringent rules put in place that sellers will have to abide by, and if an account violates these, is suspected of fraud, or have a negative effect on Etsy members, his account may be suspended, and sales permission is withdrawn. While these are good reasons, there are some other flimsy reasons that could lead to your account being suspended, and lifting suspension is not as easy as you will think – that’s if they ever list is for this reason that users who get their accounts suspended go-ahead to create a new account instead of trying to appeal for the suspension to be lifted, which might never be. However, creating a new account won’t help you. Etsy tracks users and would block any new account associated with a previously suspended account. To maintain the quality of their platform, a user is not allowed to have multiple accounts – even if one is a way, if they suspend your account, they are trying to keep you away forever. Fortunately for users, even with all of the Etsy anti-spam and tracking systems, there are methods you can follow to create undetectable stealth accounts, and this will be discussed in the is an Etsy Stealth Account? If you have been wondering what an Etsy stealth account is and how do they differ from regular Etsy accounts, you need to know that stealth Etsy accounts are also regular accounts and nothing special. The only difference is that they are registers using made-up or faked personal information, stealth PayPal, and contact information. Yes, for you to create a stealth Etsy account, you will need to use details that have not being used on Etsy the same details will reveal you are the same person behind the new account – and it will get suspended the moment noticed. One thing you need to know about Etsy is that when they block your account, it is you they are blocking from accessing their platform – and do not want you to sell on their Do You Need a Stealth Etsy Account? Stealth accounts are not supported on Etsy, and as stated earlier, they would get suspended when discovered. But why would you even need them in the first place? If you already do not have a reason, then the below are the two reasons why Etsy sellers create Etsy stealth spended Accounts The most popular reason why sellers create stealth accounts is that their accounts have been suspended. Etsy as a platform is quick to suspend accounts and withdraw sale permission from sellers, which renders them helpless and inability to make sales on the make matters worse, appealing suspension is not as easy as they make it seems, and in most cases, they are not getting that suspension lifted, and you have better kiss any of your suspended accounts goodbye. When this happens, the best thing to do is create a new Etsy account that can’t be linked or associated with each other – thus, a stealth Etsy ternative Etsy AccountIn the case above, you only create a stealth account when your account is blocked. In this case, you are trying to manage risk by managing two accounts simultaneously – one real account, the other advantage this has is that when one gets suspended, you still have one that’s already popular and also making sales, so you do not completely lose your full income. The disadvantage is that you have to be extremely careful and keep and keep things separate else; both will be detected, linked, and may be to Create Etsy Stealth AccountsThere is one key to creating a stealth Etsy account – keeping things as unique as possible. Doing this will make it difficult for Etsy to link the two accounts, and only then will you be able to use the account. This means that you will have to use different personal information such as first name, last name, date of birth, and home payment method, contact details, and IP address also have to be different from the account you already have. This will keep the two accounts different and help you carting out your marketing without getting 1: Create New Personal InformationYour personal information needs to be changed. There are no two ways around it – you will need new personal information to scale through. I know some will argue that except for a few unique personal information, most part of it can’t be used to uniquely identify member, the idea is to keep the account completely unique from each other. Etsy uses many pointers to detect multiple accounts owned by one person, and you wouldn’t want to make it easy for them. Let take a look at the details you need to pay attention When you want to register an account on Etsy, you are prompted to enter your first name and last name. When creating a stealth account, do not use your real first name and last name, even though you could do that without any won’t use your name only, but it does give a pointer and make their system more effective. You should come up with a fictitious name, use that of a person close to you just in case of verification, or even create a new one using a fake name generator like the FakeNameGenerator of BirthYou can keep the date of birth the same as the previous one, but why would you even do that. Since you were comfortable using a different name, faking your date of birth should not be a big deal. I will advise you to keep the record of all the fake details you use in creating the stealth account so that if they are required, you won’t find it difficult to provide it and make it look and Email Address, SSNIf you use the FakeNameGenerator tool mentioned above, you can just use the home address and even the date of birth provided. However, for the email address, it must be unique. If you use the same email address, you won’t even be allowed, and you are telling them you are the same person. You can create an email using any of the email service providers – the provider you choose does not pending on your location, you might be asked to provide a full or partial tax number such as SSN in the United States. If you choose the US as your location, you can buy SSN from Internet marketing forums such as BlackHatWorld to 2: Change Your IP AddressEvery device connected to the Internet has a unique number assigned to it by its ISP identification and communication – and that includes your smartphone and computer. Etsy uses this information to track its users, and as such, you will not want to use the same IP address for more than one account as the IP footprint will reveal the account is being managed from the same computer and most likely owned by the same terestingly, you can get your IP address changed or spoofed. While you can call your ISP and have a change of IP address, that might not work as expected – and won’t even work if you want to manage multiple Etsy accounts as you can’t be requesting or forcing a change of IP address every now and best option is to spoof your IP address with a different IP address, and proxies with provide you that. Proxies can also rotate IPs for you and provide you as many IP addresses as you require. Interestingly, proxies are quite affordable and easy to set up. You will need residential proxies to be able to create and manage stealth accounts on can buy affordable residential proxies from Shifter, Smartproxy or affordable Residential IP Proxies Services! 10 Best Mobile Proxy Providers for account management These providers have proxies that are fast, compatible with Etsy, are secure, and are undetectable – Etsy does not allow proxy usage, and as such only undetectable proxies will work. If you intend to manage your stealth Etsy account using any of the popular web browsers, you can check out our article on how to set up proxies on the popular web 3: Prepare a New Browser EnvironmentYou see that browser you have used for your previous account? That browser’s environment has been contaminated by Etsy in their bid to track you and provide you a personalized experience. If you try using the same browser without removing all of the data stored on it and making it different, then they know you are the one and will suspend the new, just like most popular web services, makes use of cookies to track users, and cookies are dropped in users’ browsers – and the browser will send the cookies back anytime a web request is sent to Etsy – you see how they would burst you with your browser? How then do you take care of this? Some users will simply uninstall the browser and install it again. This will provide you a clean and new environment. But this won’t solve all of the problems associated with browser tracking; there is also the issue of browser fingerprinting when a web service uses details provided by your browser to develop a unique fingerprint. For most users, I will advise the delete super cookies and flash you intend to manage multiple accounts, then you will need to make use of multiple browser profile tools such as Multilogin or sPower Proxy 101: How to Integrate Proxies with AdsPowerVmlogin Proxy 101: How to Integrate Proxies with VmloginThese tools allow you to create many browser profiles, each with its own browser environment, cookies, local storage, flash objects, browser fingerprint, and IP address (to be added by you). It is like using multiple devices when you are using just a single device in 4: Setup a Stealth PayPal AccountHow would you withdraw your money when you get paid? You will need a payment method, and you know the Etsy Payment system will force you to KYC that will not end well for a stealth account. Instead of using Etsy Payment, you should use ever, if you have used your real PayPal account before on Etsy, you can’t use it again. Unfortunately, PayPal also does not allow a user to have more than one personal account and one business account. To create another personal account, it also has to be a stealth account. We have also written a guide on how to create a stealth PayPal account on this 5: Go Ahead and Create the Etsy AccountIf you followed the above step judiciously, it means you have personal details not linked to any other account on Etsy, an uncontaminated browser environment that Etsy has not tracked, a PayPal account that has not been used on Etsy, and proxies that will spoof your real IP address among all of these at hand, all you have to do is head over to the Etsy website using the new browser environment to create a new individual account. It could be the new browser you installed, your old browser that you cleared cookies and flash objects, or a multiple browser profile like Multilogin Alternatives to manage multiple accountsMultilogin Proxy 101: How to Set Up Proxies with MultiloginHow to Protect your Stealth Etsy AccountRegular Etsy accounts are at risk of getting their account suspended, and the stores closed talk more of stealth accounts. You have to guard the account else you will lose it. The first thing you need to do is that you make sure you do not access your former account using the same browser environment you use for your stealth account, as that would reveal the accounts are owned by the same important is that you do not manage multiple stealth accounts in the same browser environment, too – that’s why you need to use a multiple browser profile tool such as Multilogin. Aside from the stealth account-specific advice, there is gardless of the type of account you have – stealth or not, you have to stick to the Etsy term of service. While many Internet users do not care to real the term of usage of services they use on the Internet, you shouldn’t as a marketer as not minding to read these documents is are products you should sell on Etsy.

Creating an Etsy Stealth Account ASAP PLEASE HELP! – Aspkin
Hey Everyone,
I have been reading through the forums about having a Stealth account on Etsy, and still need a bit more help. I know a lot of you really know your stuff. @Gladiator, your thoughts would be much appreciated here!!
I live in the U. S. and had my first Etsy shop over the past 2 years. I did quite well, and was able to take it full time which was amazing. About 2 months ago my Etsy shop was banned. I am trying to get up and running again using a stealth account.
I understand the obvious stuff, I have a new shop name ready, new listings/descriptions/tags etc. A lot of the items I want to list are still going to be similar type items, but they will be different than the ones from my old shop. I am either going to purchase a new used laptop for cheap, or use IPBurger and get a fresh Dedicated IP. Any photo uploads will be through this new IP or new laptop, so will not be coming from the same source as they did for my old shop.
My biggest concern comes down to the banking information and address. I live with my fiance, and he helps me a lot with the shop. When we opened our first Etsy shop, we had just moved to another state and I did not have a bank account yet. When I opened this shop, I used my name and SS, but used my fiances checking account information and had no issues with this. About 1-2 months after this, I finally got around to getting my own bank account in the new state, and switched the info on Etsy to my bank account. At this point, everything was in my name. After the first year, we moved again but only 30 minutes away(still same state). I updated my address on Etsy accordingly.
Since my shop has been banned, it is now my understanding that my current address and checking account are unusable. My first question, while operating through a VPN, will I have any issues opening a new store using my fiances name/checking acct and our old address?
This is the address that we originally opened the banned Etsy shop with. Would my fiance need a new bank account as well, or could we use the checking account that was first used at time of shop opening? (Until I got my own bank account) Neither this address nor bank account has been used on Etsy for well over a year now, only for the beginning of our Etsy shop. They were not the address or checking account at the time of the ban. If Etsy were to ask to send in an ID, that would be perfectly fine too. My fiance has not changed his ID and the old address is still listed on his ID.
The only other way I have seen on how to have a DC Etsy shop would be first getting an EIN associated with a different bank account. Then using this information instead of my social when setting up the shop.
I would open a shop using PP only, but first wanted to see if you guys were able to offer any assistance. My fear is that even using my fiances information it will not work simply because we used his bank account and the old address when we first set up the shop. Does Etsy have the ability to store this information? Or are they only concerned about the address and bank account associated with the shop at the time of the ban? If it is only the details associated at the time of the ban, and does not account for the details at shop inception, I would think using my fiances bank account with the old address would work.
Am I being dumb in any of this thinking? I am very new to stealth shop ownership, but am determined to figure this out as I am sure there is a way. Or is my only option using a PP only store since I reside in the U. S.?
I apologize for the lengthy message. I have a million thoughts running through my head and feel I am close to opening a new shop. I have attempted to find all the answers on my own but am still confused. Any feedback is greatly appreciated on how I should proceed to make this a reality. Thank you!!
