Tired of spam

[Impactize]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well . I would like to know if receiving everyday spam means that there is technical problem with my account. I never receive true order , never so I am asking why I am visible for spammer and not for potential customer

thank you so much

@Impactize: While new shops are always targets of scammers, the fact that your shop is very incomplete (no about, policies, etc) not only makes you an even more attractive target but also hurts you in organic Etsy search. Additionally you are in a very competitive niche and you need to initially drive your own traffic and sales so that the algorithm learns that people want what you are selling.

You may want to ask for more help in the https://community.etsy.com/t5/Shop-Critiques/bd-p/shop-critiques?ref=gnav and / or https://community.etsy.com/t5/Marketing-Your-Business/bd-p/marketing?ref=gnav forums as this one is for technical issues.
