Frustrating Seller Experience — Etsy Keeps Blocking My Payouts Without Just Cause
As a seller on Etsy with a solid track record — hundreds of sales, no complaints, and always shipping on time — I expected a basic level of fairness and support. Instead, I’ve been stuck in a loop of verification issues that simply make no sense. Etsy keeps telling me that my account information doesn’t match, even after I personally went to the bank and got an official account information sheet with my name, home address, and all required details. I submitted everything they asked for — yet they still reject it, now claiming it’s because the bank’s legal name isn’t clear enough? I use the same account to receive payouts from Amazon and Walmart with zero issues. No endless back and forth. No vague, ever-changing reasons. Just straightforward transactions. It honestly feels like Etsy is making it intentionally hard for sellers to get paid. If Etsy is going to demand specific formats or obscure info from sellers, they should at least make the requirements clear and reasonable — especially when banks don’t normally include things like home addresses on standard account documents. At this point, it’s extremely discouraging. Etsy, you need to treat your sellers with transparency and respect. We’re the ones helping build your platform. And, they ban your shop without any hesitation, meaning your hard earned money is gone!!!
