How to contact Etsy and why did they make it so difficult.

There is no way to contact Etsy and why did they make it so difficult for us to even try to look somewhere to try to contact them?  Frustrating!  I just had a customer contact me stating that she tried to check out and received an error message.

How to contact etsy support for sellers

There is a direct link to the support ticket page in every shops shop manager - Just go to Shop manager > Community & help > Contact us

That will open the page to start a support ticket. Once there select 'selling on etsy' then select issues.

Depending on the issue, they offer email, phone and/or chat support. Note that the phone support option recently changed to a request a call back system. There is no direct number sellers can call for etsy phone support. You can only request that they call you back.
You will need to click around a bit to get to the actual page with the contact options and at times it feels like endless maze loop of clicking and getting nowhere other than faq's that do not address your issues. You will need to get creative and click on options that may not match your issue completely. When you see 'I still need help' at the bottom of a page then click that....it will take you straight to the page with the available contact options.

Keep in mind that the phone support and live chat folks are just a call center and can only handle a limited list of issues. Everything outside of that they will bump up the support chain to someone who works for etsy proper to handle. Live chat and phone call back are only available sometimes it seems and the availability changes throughout the day.

Remember...the key is to click 'I still need help' when you see it.

Sometimes if the customer takes the item out of her cart and then puts it back, it works. You could try that.

Other sellers are reporting same thing here in the forums.  Have her contact Etsy as a buyer as I've heard they respond to buyers quicker than they do to us as sellers.
