what's up guys Ryan here so today I
[9]
wanted to do a quick video just talking
[10]
about how to get a second Etsy seller
[13]
account in case your first account was
[15]
closed for any reason and let me just
[17]
give some context here so I I guess long
[21]
story short I had a website that I made
[23]
in college I'm a web developer so this
[24]
website was just a pure passion project
[26]
it helped me learn how to build websites
[28]
and over time it inadvertently and
[31]
unexpectedly grew to a really I don't
[34]
know what to say like large website like
[36]
it gets a couple hundred thousand hits a
[37]
month and ranks number one on a bunch of
[39]
its primary keywords and I run some
[41]
Google ads make a little bit of side
[42]
income there but the point of me sharing
[44]
that was that my first Etsy account I
[46]
tried to sell basically a handmade
[48]
product which by the way at C's the
[50]
handmade marketplace so it seemed like a
[51]
perfect fit and I tried to sell it on
[54]
Etsy I tried to list it everywhere
[56]
possible this is like my first little
[59]
introduction to e-commerce but it was
[61]
like my first kind of like business
[63]
approach to e-commerce beyond just
[65]
selling stuff on eBay and Craigslist and
[67]
it sold like one unit in like a year so
[71]
it was a pretty big failure and it's
[73]
just cuz like I didn't validate that the
[76]
didn't the niche I tried to create
[77]
demand for something that nobody's
[78]
looking for
[79]
lesson learned either way it's fine but
[81]
Etsy ended up closing my account because
[84]
they said the product didn't fit the
[86]
look and feel of their marketplace and
[89]
Etsy has like prosthetic penises for
[92]
sale on their marketplace Etsy has like
[94]
ridiculous things on their marketplace I
[97]
don't know why I said prosthetic penises
[98]
but one time it showed up in my home
[101]
page like and it's like blurred out but
[103]
you can clearly see and it's like what
[105]
is Etsy doing banning my account for
[107]
selling something handmade that was fine
[110]
like literally like nothing it wasn't
[112]
like inauthentic nothing like that it
[114]
was it's it was just fine Fred sees
[117]
marketplace from my perspective but they
[119]
closed my account and they let this
[120]
other dude sell I mean there's a bunch
[122]
of weird stuff on Etsy this just put it
[124]
that way not that I've dug too deep but
[126]
somehow they decided that a prosthetic
[128]
penis should show up on my homepage and
[131]
I clicked it to make sure that's what it
[133]
was and that's
[133]
it was and that they're doing just fine
[136]
but they closed my first account so then
[138]
in order for me to like sell
[140]
print-on-demand on it see I had to open
[141]
up a second account well lesson learned
[144]
and sorry that I took so long talking if
[146]
you just want to know how to open that
[148]
second account now is where the value
[149]
starts but if you open a second account
[152]
and you tie it in any way shape or form
[153]
to that first one like using the same
[156]
address using the same credit card will
[159]
absolutely get you
[160]
they algorithmically match and close the
[163]
second account automatically and if you
[165]
try to have it reviewed you're not gonna
[167]
get it reopened now I've had buddies who
[170]
started selling on Etsy and I warned
[172]
them hey Etsy is really quick to closed
[173]
accounts for no reason and then sure
[175]
enough they got their account closed and
[176]
they had to ask for a manual review and
[179]
then upon manual review got their
[181]
account reopened with no reason for the
[183]
account getting closed in the first
[184]
place I don't know if Etsy still
[185]
district but if you're watching this
[187]
video chances are maybe the same thing
[188]
happened to you and they might be so if
[191]
you get your account reviewed and cannot
[192]
get it back what you need to know about
[195]
opening that next account is that you
[197]
cannot link it to the first one in any
[199]
way so this is exactly what I did my
[202]
first account was in my business name so
[205]
they did have my personal name but it
[207]
was really primarily under the business
[210]
name meaning I had the business credit
[212]
card there too and my billing
[215]
information might be what they did the
[216]
match on because my second account
[218]
doesn't use my business info it uses my
[221]
personal info completely different
[223]
credit cards and I've had no problems
[226]
after years right but when I opened up a
[229]
second account it instantly got closed
[231]
because they were able to like just use
[233]
automation to link that to my first
[236]
account which was closed so that's all
[238]
you really needed to know I this was
[239]
definitely a long-winded way of telling
[241]
you that but I've seen people in my
[243]
Facebook group saying hey Etsy closed my
[245]
account you know it's not uncommon to
[247]
see that in facebook groups on the
[249]
internet if you google it it's it's one
[251]
of the first thing that pops up so um
[253]
it's unfortunate I wish I could tell you
[255]
why they do it I have no clue like I I
[257]
mean literally no clue if manual review
[260]
doesn't get your account back just be
[261]
very careful you might have the opposite
[264]
approach that I did so I opened my first
[265]
account in my business name
[267]
if you don't have a business you may
[269]
need to incorporate and use the business
[272]
as your and then open a credit card as
[274]
well in the business name and go that
[276]
route it doesn't hurt to have the second
[278]
option for @cn for beyond Etsy anyways
[281]
