3 days 25 spam messages...

Everytime I list something I'm getting at least 3 spam messages , it's getting ridiculous,  is there no way to block or report these things? I'm just moving them to my spam but they are just relentless

Unfortunately, that is all you can do. Etsy is removing them pretty quickly but it is out of control. They seem to target new shops the most so hopefully they will move on soon.

Sorry, it really has become ridiculous now. At least you know to watch out for them and mark them as SPAM.

That's awful!  The scammers are particularly targeting new shops.

My physical shops have been closed for a while, due to a family emergency.

I reopened my vintage shop yesterday, and renewed some expired listings...

And then spent the rest of the day reporting the flood of spam messages, sigh.

Why on earth can't Etsy stop people using the  user name "Etsy Support"?

Or put a permanent warning at the top of the Inbox reminding people that official messages are in the "From Etsy" inbox.
