I Can’t Sell on Etsy Because My Identity Hasn’t Been Verified for Over 10 Days

I Can’t Sell on Etsy Because My Identity Hasn’t Been Verified for Over 10 Days
March 5, 2025 11:39 PM103

I've been stuck with the message "Hold tight while we verify your identity" on my Etsy account for over 10 days now, and nothing has changed. I’ve sent countless emails to Etsy support with no helpful response, no solution, and not even a proper update on what’s going on. My documents were submitted correctly, and I haven’t received any notice saying something’s wrong.

Meanwhile, my shop is ready, my products are prepared, and I’m just waiting for this one verification step to move forward. Etsy’s silence is holding my entire small business hostage. This lack of communication and transparency is completely unacceptable for a platform that claims to support independent creators.
