Why Etsy seller verification rejects virtual numbers
Etsy requires seller phone verification to comply with the INFORM Consumers Act and prevent fraud. The platform blocks VoIP, Google Voice, and virtual numbers.
- •VoIP Explicitly Blocked: Etsy rejects VoIP, Google Voice, and virtual numbers for seller account verification—only physical SIM-based numbers work
- •Identity Verification Requirements: New sellers (as of 2025) must complete phone + ID + live selfie verification to reduce fraud and build trust
- •INFORM Act Compliance: High-volume sellers (200+ US sales totaling $5,000+ in 12 months) must verify identity including phone number, with periodic re-verification
- •2FA Security Requirements: Protect your shop from account takeover with SMS-based two-factor authentication—requires a reliable number
JoltSMS provides real-SIM numbers for legitimate shop verification. Using numbers for policy evasion, fraud, or circumventing suspensions is prohibited and violates both Etsy's and JoltSMS's terms of service.
