Hello! I got my first customer today. I got an email to accept his payment. I went though a 1 hour verification proces and at the end, after verifing 2 codes and 2 "fake" payments I got error 404 and got no funds. Now when I acces the same link it goes to the same error. I can t get my payments and now can t sleep at night becouse of this.
Literaly I can't
@Skalicit You've been scammed.
So sorry this happened to you. I suggest you contact your bank immediately.
You were SCAMMED.
You have ZERO sales which should have been the first clue something was amiss, the 2nd clue was asking them asking you for your email.
If you had an actual sale, it would show on your ORDER page on your shop manager page.
A buyer does NOT need your email to accept their payment.
You get payments through Etsy and Etsy deposits them in your bank account.
The hackers sent you to a FAKE Etsy site.
And now these hackers have gotten access to your cc, bank account whatever info you gave them.
So you need to contact your CC, your bank, change passwords on EVERYTHING before the hackers get access to your financial info (more than likely though they already have).
There's literally 100's of threads on this same scam if you searched the forums.
Here's one below that has ALL the warning signs to look out for and it's pinned at the top of the managing shop forums.

@Skalicit You didn't get a sale - you have no money coming to you.
You were scammed - do everything you have to do to protect your information.
Worry about your information - not for any money you think is out there.

Geez........never ending isn't it?
I wonder how many sellers are getting scammed by this, that never come to the forums?
I wouldn't be surprised it's in the 1000's or 10,000's.
A simple look on the order page and a new seller would realize they don't have an order.
Or if they had read up on how they get paid here, they'd know that they don't have to provide their email to a buyer to get paid and they'd know it was BS.
I am so sorry. And disgusted by the barrage of Hackers hitting Sellers (new and seasoned). As well as Hacking attempts within Etsy Messages.
@Skalicit: As mentioned, you were scammed. If you provided any information such as logins, passwords, credit card numbers, etc you need to go into full self-protection mode and cancel the cards and change your passwords before the scammers do.
Thanks for your help
