So I been hearing that Etsy will ban VPN users :/

That's freaking lame.

I hate it when that type of stuff happens

VPN sellers or buyers or just users in general?

It does make sense on a selling platform though…

You’ve blocked a problematic customer.. they make a vpn to buy from you again.. problem occurs more than once..

I can see it from a sellers point of view for them to block buyers..

Doesn’t really make sense the other way around though..

@AuRevoir I mean, I'm pretty sure they have an algorithm to detect the delivery address being the same as a banned or blocked user,
so even if a buyer were to use a VPN, they would also have to use a different delivery address and possibly different credit card too

@Fishy Yeah but it’s always the abuse of anonymity that leads to such things as this..
