At Etsy, we’re dedicated to keeping your accounts and the marketplace safe and secure. We’ve recently seen increased reports from sellers who’ve received communications from individuals claiming to be Etsy employees. So, we’ve just introduced a new “From Etsy” section in Messages, to make it easier for you to identify when you’re receiving an official communication from Etsy or someone on the Etsy team.
Messages from Etsy Marketing, Support, Research, and Community teams will all appear in the new “From Etsy” section. Check it out!
Review our account security checklist in the Seller Handbook for more tips and best practices for protecting your information online.
We’ve also put together tips to help protect yourself against scams in this Forums post.
