The Social Security Number on a 4473 has been optional for many years. I never have given it. An ATF agent told me it helps making the background check go faster. I have a CCW permit. With that, in most Ohio gun shops, I do not have to submit to a background check.
Same here the CCP makes the process much faster and anyone that is not brain dead knows a SS number is an option on the form
Years ago when I started my Etsy shop (January 2018) they were pretty great to work with. Now not so much. They claim they only take like 6.5%. Made two sales the other day. Each sale was worth around $40.00. they took ten bucks from each sale. And several times they have removed items from my shop and threatened to close my account. I badgered them enough that they finally told me we can't sell firearms, ammo, or explosives in their site. One item was a four hole loading block and the other was oak ball starters. Haven't had either of those products explode yet after making and selling thousands of them. Kinda figured out on my own that, since there were flintlocks in the background, some over sensitive snowflake saw the pictures and were scared and offended. One complaint from some lefty and items are deactivated or accounts are closed. They aren't even interested in your side if the story. Before my wife got sick my plan was to set up my own site over the winter. Didn't get to but am now considering it. The fact is all of those online places where we can sell are ran by, let's say, people of a different outlook than the majority of people like us. So the complainer wins every time. Have any guns in your listing pictures?
If DT wins you'll see sales in those sites increase. While he was in office , and the economy was booming, I was knocking out four to five hundred bucks a week on Etsy, and close to that in eBay. About seven months into Bidenomics, when gas and groceries started going through the roof, everything died. Now I do good to move $100 a week both sites combined. So I'm making up the difference with woodwork and other local stuff. Would kill my online stores on both those sites but right now every little bit helps.

That’s pretty cool, I really hope DT gets in so we can get the ball rolling on the economy, making crafts really helps me with gas, groceries, and family emergencies…Oddly enough, after complaining to Etsy with no response From closing my account, I thought I would try to think like a woke corporation like Etsy would…I pulled the race card being half Native American and within days they restored my account and said it was an accident. An accident that took two months to fix? They unfroze my account and I got my cash back from the sale, I’m too afraid to sell on there again for the time being, I’ve stuck to here and eBay for sales.
Good for you. It's always good to use their wokeness against them. Glad you got that worked out. Probably no need to worry about selling on there now. If the give you anymore guff then you know how to stick it to them next time.

You got took by a crook. Buyer beware!
I have bought several nice leather pistol holsters from a guy named James and i liked them good quality and prices and i recently purchased another 1911 holster and he has started using a different type of leather and its not the same quality and thinner for the same price and i messaged him and told him i didnt like the new style and i thought it was shady business and he should make people aware of the changes before they purchased. And Etsy has caved in to the anti gun crap also so i canceled my account and the App im done with buying from anti gun people and businesses and hope they go bankrupt
It’s sad to read about bad reviews like this about Etsy.
I have had good experiences both selling and buying there. Like anywhere, it’s good to do some research (always check the reviews) on a new-to-you vendor. I have gotten great leather shooting bags ( I just ordered a third), and nicely made historical clothing custom made from trusted vendors.
