I have received 12 orders in the last 6 days that say "Payment Processing" (do not ship until I receive notification that it is OK to ship) from Etsy. I also received a message from someone telling me that they had a fraudulent charge on their credit card for a purchase from my shop that they did not make. Obviously some scammer is doing this. Is there any steps I can take to make this stop. I have been selling here since 2009 and have never had this happen.
You can't make it stop as you are not dealing with these payments. The customer has to contact their bank, card company and report it to Etsy
