Help with payment request

Jump to solution
Hello ,
I made my first sale but
I apparently got a message from
Etsy asking me to confirm my
credit card with an amount of
€400 which will not be taken
from my account but only to
confirm it, given everything
we see on the internet I'm
afraid to confirm this
payment, is the procedure normal
on etsy for New sellers???
thanks for the help

I received a couple of those messages in another shop.  I took great pleasure in replying.  Didn't hear from them again.

Unfortunately, that's a scam. Put the message in your spam folder.  

The good news is you asked before losing $400 (or maybe even more) by "verifying" your card.

That is spam.  Mark it as spam.  You also have no orders in the shop you are in now.  Maybe you have a sale in another shop.

 

If you do what the spammers want you will definitely lose that money and never see it again.

@LittleRebornTresors: New shops are a prime target for scammers - particularly incomplete ones (no location, about, policies, etc).

Legitimate messages from Etsy will appear in the 'From Etsy' folder of your message inbox (click on that folder to check).

Any other messages which 'appear' to be from Etsy are scams.

Mark them as SPAM.
