Why can’t I create an account? 

If you can’t create an account, it may be due to a firewall on your internet connection preventing access to certain websites and functions. For example, libraries, businesses, or public Wi-Fi may have restrictions on what you can do on their connection.

Please try creating an account from a different internet connection, or, if you’re using a mobile device, try using your mobile data plan to access Etsy.

If the problem persists, it's possible the email address won’t be able to be used to create an Etsy account. You may need to register with a different email address.
