How To Close An Etsy Account When Someone Dies

Service: Etsy is an online marketplace specializing primarily in handmade and vintage items and crafts and supplies.

How To Close An Account: There are two kinds of Etsy account: Shop and buyer-only. If there is a shop associated with the account, that must be closed first.

Shops

1. Log in at Etsy’s web site by clicking at the upper right.

2. Click “Your Shop” at the top of the page (as opposed to hovering over it.)

3. Scroll down to click “Options” under the “Shop Settings” heading in the column on the left.

4. Click the Close Shop tab toward the top right of the page.

5. Scroll down and click the “Close Shop” button.

The shop account has now become a buyer-only account.
