You have been Blocked

[#1]

Good morning. I hope that you are well. 

I have been trying to access etsy from both my phone and laptop this morning and is its saying on both, you have been blocked. Something about click speed being too fast etc... Is anyone else experiencing issues?

Thank you so much.

Warmest regards

Same here.

Just been blocked for no apparent reason just as I was adding to my listings.

Looks like there is an issue as there is plenty more here with same problem.

(I am wanting to pay my monthly bill so hopefully be back up and running before its too late).

Same problem here from the Netherlands

[LittleMonarchStudio]

I've been blocked, too. What's up?

[WindyBarnVintage]

and me!  I was publishing a listing I've been working on all morning too.  I'm furious!

[EmilyBalivet]

Me too. Freak out on a busy Monday morning

[SABUHAM]

Same in the TR. It seems like a global problem.

[PearandPavilion]

Me too, I was only trying to buy a postage label, grrrr!

[CraftyPrints01]

Yes same problem can’t get into any of my shops of laptop or phone getting the same blocked messages

Just had this: clear cookies from etsy *and* recaptcha and try again

[SoulGemJewellery]

Yes, I'm experiencing the same at the moment (Switzerland). In both browser on my PC (Microsoft Edge and Firefox). I don't know what is happening

[QuirkyTiger]

Me! I am trying to get help from Etsy now. I am able to access from Edge rather than my normal Chrome.

RESOLVED IT! I had this too but finally resolved it, I had tried clearing cookies & cache from the device I was using, it didn't work, but I did this from EVERY device I was logged in with on my network, then restarted my browser on each device and I'm now unblocked and back onto the website. Hopefully it will work for some of you. I had been blocked for about 25 minutes when I tried this and it worked, so I suppose it could be that the block only lasts 25 minutes too but worth a try clearing all your devices and restarting browsers

[DagnyKnit]

Same here; from Poland

[heyhihelloartdesign]

Same for me too, I had such a panic! 

[CryzalisMasksUK · Accepted solution]

I just had the same, on all my devices and browsers.

THE FIX:

Run a scan on your computer

Clear cookies & Cache

Restart device 

All fixed, you may have to solve a puzzle to prove you are not a robot

(In the UK)

We are the same 

[SugarTaffySoap]

Scroll down and see what IP address is showing.  The one I see is NOT mine!

[aarghhhh]

My guess is recaptcha temporarily broke, and anyone hitting the site at that point got marked as a bot. Nor 100% sure, but worth trying to clear both etsy and recaptcha cookies, which hopefully will give you a new recaptcha challange

[TangleCrafts]

Same here (UK). I use 2 browsers for my 2 shops. On Opera (this shop), I'm completely blocked. On Microsoft Edge, it came up with one of those 'prove you're a human' puzzles. Thankfully, I successfully managed to prove I'm not a robot (for once!) so have access to Etsy for one of my shops, at least... Maybe some browsers just aren't bringing up the 'prove you're a human' dialogue? Anyway, with so many people affected, hopefully this is a glitch Etsy will fix quickly!

[TangleCrafts]

Access seems to be back now - fingers crossed it sticks!

[LandofPillowsDotCom]

Same here. 
I did read somewhere Etsy was looking into trying to block bots from accessing site (listing items overseas - ie china) looks like they're playing with this and have the settings WAAAAAY too low...
I can get on occasionally without clearing C&C, and Ill get the puzzlebox anti spam, can work for a few minutes (at normal human pace) then back to being blocked. 

[LittleMonarchStudio]

I'm in Arizona. I hope this is resolved soon, as I'm supposed to be shipping today. 

[ProjectoAlfarroba]

It´s back for me. Laptop, mobile and app.

[TeresaLynnsSimpleLux]

Yes, I came here to say the same thing and look for answers.  My app works but none of the computers can access Etsy.
