Sounds like an amateur attempt at copying one of the recent scams. Good thing you recognized it as phishing.

Send it straight to the Spam Folder, chances are even if you tried to answer Etsy will have already deleted the account and you would get an unknown user message.
Well done for seeing it for what it is!
Unfortunately this is a typical scam. Good job in noticing it. Send it to spam.
Yes, it's definitely a phishing scam. Besides, ID verification on Etsy takes a lot longer than 5-10 minutes! Your shop is open.
Just mark it as SPAM (using a browser)
‘We appreciate our customers and are willing to provide any information needed in this situation.‘
You’ll never, ever, ever hear the real Etsy say that… they don’t and they won’t!
Thanks to all the replies, my best wishes in your shops.
