A person from Thailand sent me a link through an Etsy image and told me I could earn money by completing tasks. During the process, they repeatedly asked me for money, and I deposited ₺27,000 first, then ₺53,000, and later ₺100,000. Finally, they demanded around ₺250,000, which I refused to pay. Whe...

Around July 29–30, 2024, I came across an Instagram ad offering Etsy store setup assistance. I contacted the person behind the ad and transferred ₺5,000 ($155) to their account as requested.

Today, I logged into Etsy.com to open an online shop. I listed one product, but when the site saved my card information automatically, I became concerned about security.

After opening my new Etsy account, it was suspended the very next day — even though I hadn’t listed a single item for sale. No reason was provided for the closure. It appears that accounts opened from Turkey are automatically subjected to this kind of treatment, and I believe this may stem from disc...

Etsy is not a trustworthy company! On three different occasions, they suspended our accounts without any valid reason, claiming “violations” that were never explained.

Hello, I’m trying to set up my shop on Etsy, but I’m completely stuck at the identity verification step. The platform is asking me to take a photo of my ID, but it won’t let me upload it.

I opened a store on the Etsy e-commerce platform under the name Medusaspiritualshop. At first, Etsy successfully transferred a ₺1–₂ test payment to verify my account.

I sold an item on Etsy and shipped it to the United States as scheduled. However, the shipping company contacted me asking for the buyer’s phone number or email address in case the recipient wasn’t home.

I’ve been completely locked out of my Etsy shop because the 6-digit login code never reaches my phone. I’ve tried multiple times, waited patiently, refreshed, and even restarted my device—but no code ever shows up. Without this code, I can’t access my shop at all. To make things worse, I’m now worr...
I’ve been trying to set up my Etsy shop for over two weeks now, but I keep hitting a roadblock at the identity verification stage.

I’ve been waiting since February 11, 2025 for Etsy to approve my business documents, and it’s becoming unacceptable.

I've been stuck with the message "Hold tight while we verify your identity" on my Etsy account for over 10 days now, and nothing has changed.

I’m trying to register as a seller on Etsy, but the system keeps rejecting my identity verification, saying my ID information is incorrect—even though everything I entered is 100% accurate. I’ve double-checked multiple times. There is absolutely no error on my end. I honestly didn’t expect this kin...
Hello, I’ve been selling on Etsy, but my shop was shut down six months ago. I was informed that my funds would be held due to “security reasons” and would be released after the 180-day period. Well, that waiting period has now passed, and I still haven’t received my money. To make matters worse, I ...
About a month ago, I paid ₺850 to open a company seller account on Etsy. After paying the required fee, we listed our products and saw the $0.20 listing fees reflected in the account.
