Re: Message Error

@VIVIFLI   

You are a new seller.  Did perhaps the person message you first and tell you they needed your email address or phone number/SMS in order to place an order?  If so, that message was from a scammer, and the reason you cannot respond is Etsy removed the account from Etsy.

Scams are running rampant on Etsy right now, targeting new shops.  Never take a conversation off Etsy, buyers never need your email address or SMS to place an order, and all orders will appear on your shop dashboard.

You have no sales which means you have no customers.
