The return tracking number is 953461****876135****85. The item was Delivered to the seller:[GEOGRAPHIC_DATA], [GEOGRAPHIC_DATA] 18936 on May 19, 2026 at 7:27 am I have messaged the seller several times with no success.

Original review May 23, 2026

The seller received the returned item but is not responding to me about refunding my payment. The shoes were too small, so I had to return them, and the seller is not cooperative. I don't have the shoes anymore; therefore, I am unable to take a photo, which I guess is a requirement for verification of the return.

Loss:

Pros:
  • Always great service

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Always take pictures of your item or items

I bought a $159 Nixie tube clock and received a tiny plastic toy instead. The seller has completely ghosted me for several weeks no replies at all.

This is a clear scam.

I cannot escalate the case through the system. Please immediately refund my $159 or take action against the seller.It says I can escalate this case and say from June 17th, but still highlighted that option, another scam for Etsy company!

Loss:
$159
Cons:
  • Everything about etsy is a con

Original review Feb 28, 2026
I try to connect my bank account, ***, to the Etsy shop after I sold a few products, but for almost 4-6 months, Etsy can't or refuses to resolve my problem about linking the Etsy shop money to my bank account. So, I have to change to Tangerine, and AGAIN they said they 'can't read' when it's 100% visible and readable to prove my real bank account, Tangerine, etc.

A lot told me to use a Plaid paid like Tangerine in *** because, okay, *** might not work, but I'm so tired of talking to an AI on Etsy. I don't know what to do if they still don't want to resolve my problem with the Etsy shop linked to my bank accounts, *** or Tangerine. I follow the process to resolve it, and it still doesn't work...

I will stop selling on Etsy if they keep rejecting me and my issue. I have the feeling of giving free products to people when it costs me $100 per week.
Cons:
  • Use ai to respond me and it didnt help because same words

Preferred solution: im a etsy seller and i try to link my etsy shop finance to my bank account Tanegrine, after trying to put numbers accounts of my previous banks but ETsy rejected them and they reject tangerine because they ''cant read ''

Etsy - Review in Auctions and Marketplaces category from ***, ***

Etsy - Review in Auctions and Marketplaces category  from ***,  ***

I ordered a tag for my Audi, actually, few weeks back, and they told me that it would have been there by around the April 17. Then I got another message saying that it would come on the eighteenth, between the eighteenth and the twenty first, and no one's been contacting me.

I didn't know because I cannot I can't flag the package because it it was never sent. But then, I guess, one of the representatives, ***, reached out to me because I left a couple of messages. I couldn't call anyone. And still to still to this day, I don't know where the package is.

I don't know if it was either shipped. I don't know any like, I paid for an item that I don't have. And I'm trying to figure out who's gonna send me my item or who's gonna send me my money back, One or the other. I'm not gonna sit around and wait two, three months for a a tag that costs $12 as as as the principle.

If you got a good company, you got a good company.

No one wants bad reviews for their company. So please, someone send me my pack.

AI Highlights
  • - The author requests expanding seller eligibility and Etsy Payments to Iraq-based creators amid current storefront restrictions.

would love to open a shop on Etsy, but seller registration is currently restricted in Iraq. Please consider expanding platform access so creators and sellers from Iraq can participate.

Dear Etsy Support and Marketplace Expansion Team,

I am writing to formally request that Etsy consider expanding seller eligibility and Etsy Payments support to independent creators, artisans, and small business owners based in Iraq.

Currently, creators residing in Iraq are unable to open new Etsy storefronts. Iraq is home to a growing community of talented artists, craftspeople, and independent designers who specialize in unique handmade goods, cultural art, and digital products. Expanding access to your platform would allow local creators to connect with a global buyer base, build sustainable creative businesses, and contribute to the vibrant international marketplace that Etsy represents.

We understand that opening seller onboarding in new regions requires regulatory and payment infrastructure setup. Given that Etsy has successfully expanded Etsy Payments to additional global markets through payment integrations like Payoneer, we respectfully request that Iraq be considered for future rollout phases.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and continued work in supporting independent creators worldwide. I look forward to any updates regarding regional expansion plans.

Sincerely,

Tomi

[Basra, Iraq]

Never received my order

Etsy - Never received my order

I purchased a white 5xl short sleeve lambskin leather shirt, back in October, 2025, and I never received my order nor have I received a refund or store credit. So I'm asking what can I do, at this point. I want a refund or my leather shirt or a store credit so I can re-order the shirt.

Have I been scammed? I paid for an item and $ sent But cannot see Order or when it is shipping

Etsy - Have I been scammed? I paid for an item and $ sent But cannot see Order or when it...

No reply or info about my purchase. Money has been paid.

Is this a scam? I've tried to contact someone at ***. I've tried to find out who the person is to contact, getting nowhere. The system is useless, and I've been scammed.

Then I need to tell people about this. I am sending the payment information where I have paid for this product; again, no one has told me anything.

I think this is a scam. I need someone to send me information on when I can get my money back if this is a scam.

Loss:
$21

Preferred solution: My purchase or refund This is a graduation gift

Poor service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I called but no one answered; I waited about a minute and hung up.
  • - The message shows 231 of 100 minimum characters.

I called. No one answered.

I stayed on for about a minute and then hung up. Not understanding why it has to be over 100 symbols or characters, that request makes no sense at all. Have I met the minimum requirement of 100 symbols now? Apparently not because I still get the message of 100 syllables.

It says 231 of 100 minimum characters. Almost there. I don't know about your math, but 231 is greater than 100, so what does this message mean?

You guys really have to get it together because this is not making any sense at all. And of course, I can talk as long as you want to fill up this stupid request of yours for 100 symbols when I'm well over 100 syllables.

Cons:
  • Poorly set up

Preferred solution: A response

User's recommendation: Have someone pick up the phone a human instead of them damn machines

My advice is never order any merchandise. I didn’t receive any merchandise but Etsy deducted $45.00 from my account. Complaints doesn’t solve anything.
