If you’ve been suspended, it’s doubtful. They definitely track names and addresses... probably IPs, too.

I had an Etsy shop with a friend. She bought me out, but we forgot to remove my name and address in one of the account settings. A year later, when her shop was suspended, my new Etsy shop was too. Fortunately, it was just because her credit card expired, so the payment didn’t go through. So, it was quickly resolved, and I was able to show that I was no longer associated with that Etsy shop. But they’re definitely watching.
It's a shame and they are losing out on business over old grudges! Like ok my feedback when I was 16 was 96% which wasn't good enough, but that was 8 years ago, I've moved address, I'm using a different bank card, let me give you business!! :rofl: I hate how even the best rated businesses have 80-90% satisfaction, but on Etsy/eBay/etc, 95-96% is dissatisfactory. Just leave it to the individual buyer, I say.
