It is a SCAM if it did not come "from Etsy" in your messages.

Yes, it's a SCAM.

Did you check the "from etsy" section of your inbox?

This makes zero sense: "...  the payment options of the buyer is not accepted by your card". As an established seller, you KNOW that payments don't go to your card; they only go to your bank account.

SCAM!  All genuine Etsy messages will be found in the "From Etsy" folder under Shop Manager, Messages.
