Etsy is a fantastic online marketplace for Vietnamese artisans and creators looking to sell handmade, vintage, and craft supplies. However, before you can start selling on Etsy (become an Etsy Seller), you need to create an Etsy Buyer account. This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on how to create an Etsy Buyer account from start to finish, setting a solid foundation for your Etsy business.
Prepare Your Email and Browser
Email: Use a professional email address that includes your real name to avoid Etsy flagging your account as fake. For example, if your name is Nguyen Van A, use an email like nguyenvana@email.com or a.nguyen@email.com. This increases the credibility of your account.
Firefox Portable Browser: To ensure security and prevent Etsy from detecting multiple accounts on the same device, use Firefox Portable. Download and install Firefox Portable into a separate folder on your computer. Using a dedicated browser for each Etsy shop minimizes the risk of account suspension.
Set Up VPN and Access Etsy
VPN: Use a VPN to change your IP address. Purchase a VPN from a reputable provider and choose a Vietnam server for stable connection speed. Copy the VPN’s IP address.
Configure Firefox Portable:
- Open Firefox Portable.
- Go to Settings -> General -> Network Settings -> Settings.
- Select Manual proxy configuration.
- Paste the VPN’s IP address into the HTTP Proxy field.
- Check Use this proxy server for all protocols.
- Enter your VPN username and password (if required).
- Click OK to save.
Register for an Etsy Buyer Account
Visit Etsy.com. Click on Sign in -> Register. Fill in the required information:
- Email: Enter the email address you prepared.
- First name: Enter your full name.
- Password: Create a strong password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Click Register.
Confirm Your Email
Etsy will send a confirmation email to the address you provided. Log in to your email, find the email from Etsy, and click the confirmation link. Note: Ensure you access your email using the same Firefox Portable browser you used to register your Etsy account.
Complete Registration
After confirming your email, your Etsy Buyer account is successfully created. Review your account information in the Account Settings section.
Important Notes
- Season Your Account: After creating your Etsy Buyer account, use it like a regular shopper for about a month before registering for an Etsy Seller account. Browse products, add items to your cart, and even purchase a few items to build credibility.
- Regular Activity: Log in to your Etsy Buyer account regularly and maintain shopping activity to avoid Etsy suspecting it as a fake account.
- Information Security: Keep your account information confidential and do not share it with others.
