I managed to setup 2 accounts. Both got banned after a few months due to Fake copyright claims.

Now i only managed to do this as I have two bank accounts with 2 accounts.

I tried the following

Mac address change
Ip Change
CCleaner everything
Change pics
Change listings everything.

Now i started the account used other people info to create a shop. Now when it came to making a payment you have to add a credit card so I added an oldone that hasn't been used. My payment account was the same sort code as an old card and account number was new.

20 minutes later and I Was banned. Etsy is hard to beat... tried tons of different methods nothing works. I tried digital cards too... nothing is budging. Personally I think they flagged my card sort code that's the only thing thats connected which seems a bit daft... but whatever. Might need to setup another bank account...

ebay and paypal on the other hand.... walk in the park. I setup business accounts in minutes and i can just sell up to 10k easy mode.. I just would like to get back on etsy because the sales are there for my product....

any help would be great since you said you have done it a few times before.

Sure did they banned that too. They said I didn't tell them what I worked as in the business and linked me to another account. Everything was fresh. The only thing that was the same was the card address and of course my name.

Having the same address I guess is a big no no... i just made a shopify site instead. Sod em.

Hello guys,

I have a quick question and I didn't want to start a new thread, so I thought I'll just ask it here. I hope that's okay.
My first shop got closed down, but I have a really great new shop now. My sales really jumped in the past few weeks. I would like to add a VAT ID to my account, so I will not be charged VAT on seller fees. I've already used my company's VAT ID for my first shop, so naturally I can't use it for the new one. However I have another VAT ID (a friend's company's, but the company is not operating anymore). My question is can I use my friend's VAT ID? Or they can check it whatever the company is still operating or closed down? I'm in th EU.

Thanks for the help guys!
