Etsy shop accounts

Opening a shop means handing over a bank account, a country and the identity documents Etsy asks for, and those three are checked against each other. A shop that skips the check simply does not take money yet.

The device and the address sit on top of that, and two shops answering with one of each are read as one seller.

A second shop is allowed and needs its own account with its own email address, which is the part people skip. Two shops signed in from one browser also share its cookies, and cookies are the cheapest link a platform can follow.

What Etsy removes are duplicate shops selling the same goods, because the point of the second shop is meant to be a different craft.

A renewal is the same action against the same shop as a fresh listing, so a bulk renewal spends the listing budget rather than a budget of its own. Four hundred renewals in an afternoon is the shape of a machine rather than of a maker.

The warning arrives before the number and the refusal arrives at it, so a busy morning stops in daylight rather than at midnight.

A shop opened this week starts at a fifth of the daily ceiling, and the app lifts it a little every day until the seventh.

The ramp is a fraction of the scenario ceiling, so it follows that number instead of living beside it.

Payouts go to a bank in the country the shop is registered in, and that country is part of the shop's identity rather than a setting. A payout heading for a bank in a third country is the part that gets held, not the browsing.

A profile takes its clock and its language list from the country its proxy leaves through, so a shop registered in one place is not browsed from another by accident.

Etsy's seller policy covers what may be sold, how many shops one person may keep and how buyers may be contacted. Handmade, vintage and craft supplies each carry their own conditions inside it.

Read it at the source before you open the second shop. We point at it rather than paraphrase it, because our paraphrase would go stale without warning.
