My first post here and I need help. Imma try to keep this short

My issue: I used to be able to give me 10-15 weekly reviews, from my girlfriend phone and her data mobile and her card. This went for months, but one time she did a mistake and used a wrong billing adress and got her suspended and payment declined. Now all fake purchases I try to make etsy is catching me and declining sale.

Keep in mind that once she got suspended, I started using proxies+ another tablet and her uncle and mother cards to fake purchase, same issue on all my accounts, once I purchase something ONLY from my shop, it goes into processing and payment declined.

I thought the issue was on the billing adress since it's the same for her mother and uncle, so I tried paying with paypal ( I thought maybe they can't acces the billing adress ) but seems like the problem persists, altough the accounts is not suspended immediatly like before, so something is better than before, but not enough.

I will try again with my cousin virtual card ( Altough I never used virtual cards since they got flagged easily, maybe I will use the normal card )

I need tips to make this work please. I have thought of anty detect browser too but there are 2 issues that I am not sure about;

1.Etsy is very strong on detecting users that want to hide and flag that account I think. I don't want to bulk create accounts or keep using them, I just want to create an account , make a sale+ review on 2-3 accs then repeat

2. I do mobile hotspot from my girlfriend phone to not leak my real ip under no circumstances so my shops are safe ( as much as possible ) and I am not sure if proxies is not enough or anty detect is needed to avoid leaking the real ip ( since maybe my girlfriend IP is flagged )

What I have noticed and my tips:

So since I was able to do this for a long time, if you behave totally like a normal user ( no antidetect browser, no proxy ) but completely legit new browser,device,ip and card informations ( not linked by any means to your real etsy shop INFO ) you are good to go and can do that infinitely or until you make a mistake, like I did.

If you are flagged and have payments processing then declines , do not fucking continue on your main accounts, you will get banned !

Edit: Some guy here on BHW said that is normal and happens on new accounts, that 4 in 5 payments goes into payment processing and declined and that you need to ask etsy customer support( and wait 7-10 days ) to unban you because you are a ordinary customer, but it's not true, as I said I did this for months with 0 payments declined and that went into processing. His reply was even older than back when my method was working. He seemed to know what he was talking about, so maybe I was just lucky, but I don't think so.

Yeah, once Etsy flags you, they get really good at linking things like cards, billing addresses, IPs, and even device info. Creating truly separate 'fake' buyer profiles becomes much harder after that initial mistake without addressing all those linked elements.
 
Hi, If you are interested, we can exchange purchases and reviews.
Don't do it. Trust me I have over 10 banned accs. One wrong move when buying and your acc is gone

True, just found out about that. Device info is what they are somehow linking even after full reset using proxies and different billing adresses + real personas. Banned 5 friends already But not gonna stop. However I think you must warm your browser fingerprints or idk. I will buy another devices just for this

I don't suggest doing this. One mistake will get your persona banned permanently even your shop. Never use your real shop or adress or name even when buying !
 
Hi, quick question:
You said it worked on your girlfriend's phone at first.
Did she buy multiple times from the same account?
Or did she create new accounts?

I was using one account for 2 reviews then create another one. Did you find any news for this to make it work?
