Trouble Signing into Etsy with Apple ID — Looping Back to Registration Page
Etsy suspended my brand new account
There are lots of other threads on here saying the same thing. It’s very common for Etsy to suspend new shops while they take a look and make sure everything looks like it’s legitimate.
Here’s what happened: in the early day of the pandemic, Etsy got a massive influx of sellers who set up shop, offered a bunch of cloth masks for sale, took a bunch of peoples money then disappeared. Etsy was left holding the bag, having to refund people out of their profits and being absolutely swamped with the customer service cases.
Now when a new shop opens, they put it on pause for a bit while they have a look and make sure nothing seems out of place. They’re looking for things like using a VPN to mask your true location/IP address, a history of shut down shops from your IP address, ID that doesn’t match payment info, etc… if everything’s in order they’ll reinstate you soon!
In the meantime I’d recommend spending the wait working on more items. That way when your shop comes off the hold you’ll have a good number of listings to start out with!

Any tips? I’m trying to verify my account so I can message sellers back but it won’t let me as my account isnt verified. It tells me to look at my email yet there’s nothing asking me to confirm my account I’ve searched countless times on google and Etsy help how to sort this and all they say is check your email for a confirmation thing THERE IS NOTHING! Please help ☺️
I’m having trouble logging into my Etsy shop with my Apple ID. Every time I try to sign in, I get stuck at the “Verifying the device” screen, and after a while, I’m redirected back to the registration page instead of being signed in.
I’ve tried the following without success:
• Clearing my browser cache and cookies • Using different browsers • Restarting my device
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any tips or solutions would be appreciated!

I found a solution! First, locate the private Apple email linked to your account in your iPhone settings( setting- Apple account - sign in with apple - etsy). Then, go to Etsy on a web browser and log in using that email. Select “Forgot password” (it doesn’t matter whether you remember setting a password before; just go through this process). You’ll receive an email to reset your password. Set a new password, then log in with the same private email and new password. That should work!
