Notice the domain is a .ee domain registration

This extension is the official top level domain of Estonia

This might be a clue regarding spam. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is from a scammer. You've received this because your shop is new and unfinished.

As far as I am aware, my shop is finished, but I am also New. I get those same SPAM messages randomly when I put a new item on Etsy! Not every item, but every once in a while.

Yep! To the best of my knowledge Etsy has never sent an email asking for your "approval" for an order.
