My Etsy Account Was Hit by an Unauthorized Transaction

I signed up for Etsy, set up my own store, and right away got an email redirect through messages (a sneaky move that can easily slip under the radar). After that, in order to authorize my sales, they asked for my card details and insisted on a specific amount being reserved. After withdrawing around ₺4700, it became clear that I had fallen prey to a fraudulent scheme. It's concerning that there is a significant loophole on a major platform, particularly with multiple complaints. The site's failure to address this issue highlights their accountability for these complaints. We kindly request a refund for our purchase.
