Why my account is not showing India as Add additional taxpayer IDs

[PinkCityCenter]

Dear Community,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m reaching out to ask for your support or guidance regarding an issue I’m currently facing with my Etsy shop.

I recently received a message from Etsy stating:

“Etsy Payments is currently unavailable for your shop. We’ll need your taxpayer ID to reactivate it.”

However, when I try to add my taxpayer information, I’m running into a problem — India is not listed as an option under the "Add additional taxpayer IDs" section. Since my shop is based in India and  I already submitted it which showing there why the etsy asking it again? , this is preventing me from completing the required steps to get Etsy Payments reactivated. 

Has anyone else from India faced this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Any advice, experience, or insight would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get my shop back up and running as soon as possible.

Thank you so much in advance for your help and support!

Warm regards,

You are shipping from Iowa not India. What does India have to do with your shop?

@AnsamZephyr: Do you mean the location that is displayed on the shop's home page or the actual physical location of your shop?

@PinkCityCenter: What country did you tell Etsy you were located in when you set up your shop? Generally speaking, you cannot change the country your shop is based in and all verification / banking information must be based on the country you used when you set up your shop.
