Request account deletion.
You have to contact Etsy. As they've stated, “when a member closes an account, it becomes inaccessible and will remain deactivated, unless the member requests it reopened. Account information remains securely on file with them, and Etsy has a detailed Privacy Policy that explains how we use members' information. This policy includes a statement regarding data retention.”
Contact Etsy support and request account deletion.
You will lose access to your account data and purchased items.
Etsy does not publish a retention period for closed accounts. If the timeline matters to you, ask Etsy support for written confirmation of when your data is removed, and what is retained for legal or accounting reasons.
Etsy does not publish a recovery window, so treat the deletion as permanent and export anything you want to keep before you start.
Deleting your account means: loss of account data; loss of access to purchased items. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin — it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Have the following ready: no unpaid bills; no open cases. Having it to hand avoids getting part-way through the flow and having to start again.
Etsy is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA — that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
Common alternatives include eBay, Amazon Handmade, Shopify. If you are switching because of how Etsy handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
