Just wanted to share some things I’ve learned from digging around and reading what others in the Etsy game have been doing. A lot of people seem to run into the same issues – mainly getting accounts banned right after registration, or even after doing some legit sales.
From what I’ve seen, here’s how some users approach it:
First, about proxies.
If your setup is clean (never used for Etsy), some people say it’s fine to just register with your home IP. But once you start doing more accounts or reuse devices/IPs, proxies are almost a must.
Most people recommend using IPv4 or residential proxies. Rotating proxies can be used during bulk registration, but for farming and daily use, they prefer static ones.
To test proxies, tools like whoer.net or ip-score.com get mentioned often, just to check IP quality and blacklist status. These checks aren’t perfect, but better than nothing.
If you're buying info to register accounts, always test in small batches. Buying large lists of info without checking first often leads to buying already used or blacklisted ones. Use a middleman when possible, and make sure there’s some kind of refund policy.
As for the farming/warm-up part, some people go from buyer to seller slowly.
Basically, they create an account, then spend some time acting like a normal buyer: browsing, buying low-cost stuff, leaving reviews. Some even join groups where they get paid to place small orders, just to make the account look more legit and build trust.
Then, after a while, they request to become a seller. Instead of rushing listings, they contact Etsy support and explain their situation like a real user would. That seems to work better than jumping straight into seller mode.
When listing products, handmade items with real images are preferred. Digital products or anything with reused mockups usually get flagged or don’t go live at all.
For those doing this at small scale (1–2 shops), running on a VPS or using browser profiles might be enough.
But for managing a lot of accounts, many users turn to antidetect browsers like Multilogin. That said, it’s on the pricey side. If you’re looking for something more affordable that still gets the job done, some users suggest Hidemyacc as a decent alternative. These help keep environments separate, especially when used with good proxies. Of course, no tool is perfect. Even with a good browser, if your registration and farming process isn’t solid, the accounts won’t last long
At the end of the day, there’s no one guaranteed formula. From what I gather, the people who succeed are usually the ones who are careful, consistent, and learn from each account that dies. They adjust their process little by little.
Hope this helps someone trying to get started or scale up without hitting the same issues.
