Lost order 402515****

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The first time when they sent me the code and I entered the race code, it still didn't connect me. The second time I checked while they connected me, and finally I didn't have any help at all. So sad.

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

You are sending my package to the wrong address

I tracked my package, and you are sending my package to an address where I haven't lived in five years. I gave you the correct address, but it was ignored.

Loss:
$17

User's recommendation: If you send a package to the wrong address you should refund double

Put my account on vacation with no reason

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've sold products on your site for a while. It was a long time ago, but it was on there.

You verified me back then, but now it's a problem.

It is absolutely ridiculous that it takes this long to get this issue resolved. The fact that no one can contact you is a testament to your lack of concern.

Pros:
  • Large audience
Cons:
  • Worst support experience i have ever dealt with

Preferred solution: I need my account restored in the next couple of days. I’m losing money by not being able to sell my products before Mother’s Day.

User's recommendation: Provide actual customer service

Resolved: Lotoking for my order. I needed it by 3-22-26.

Updated by user Apr 05, 2026

I found out that my post office was 100% at fault. They tried to deliver my order, but there was too much snow.

However, they never let us know. We got it about 5 days later. The company did everything right.

I have no problem with them. It was my post office that caused the problem.

Original review Mar 21, 2026

I'm not mad. I was trying to find my order.

I needed it by 3-22-26. It should have been here by now.

Unjustified account suspension, false refund claims, and withholding of seller funds, resulting in severe financial losses and forced business closure.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This is a public complaint and warning against Etsy due to the abusive, negligent, and harmful way the platform treats its sellers.

My account was arbitrarily suspended, without prior notice, without a clear justification, and without any proof of wrongdoing. At the time of the suspension, all orders had already been shipped to customers, including orders placed months earlier, when my shop was operating normally and in compliance with Etsys rules.

After the suspension, Etsy began claiming that ALL orders were refunded, which is demonstrably false.

I am in direct contact with several customers who purchased from my shop and confirmed that they did NOT receive any refund. This means Etsy is providing misleading and contradictory information to both sellers and the public.

In addition, Etsy is withholding funds that rightfully belong to my business, refusing to release payment for completed sales.

This unjustified retention of funds has caused severe financial damage, pushing my company toward immediate collapse.

As a direct result of Etsys actions:

I was forced to shut down my business

I am unable to pay my employees

I suffered irreversible financial losses

My professional reputation has been seriously harmed

Etsy shows a complete lack of transparency, accountability, and respect for the sellers who sustain the platform. This behavior may constitute wrongful withholding of funds, false information, and a breach of commercial trust.

I warn other sellers: any shop can be suspended at any time, without real explanation, without due process, and without any guarantee of being paid for products already shipped.

I demand:

Immediate payment of all funds owed

A formal, documented explanation for the account suspension

An end to these abusive practices against sellers

Loss:
$13000
Cons:
  • Wrongful withholding of payments owed to a seller
  • Arbitrary account suspension
  • Misleading refund information

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Be cautious when using Etsy as a seller — your income and business may be at risk.

I wanted to have a specialty item and needed to talk to a human about it, so I'm done. You need to get a phone number that is valid with a live person at the other end.

User's recommendation: They don't answer the their phone, no use trying to reach a human

Tariff and import tax I was not aware of

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I ordered a Averex leather jacket and it said it was being shipped from New York. It said nothing about import or tariffs and a week or two after I got my jacket. I got a letter from UPS saying I old $17 and some change for a tariffs if I was aware beforehand, it would not bother me, but it said shipping from New York and said nothing about the tax like some of your other stores

User's recommendation: Make sure you know ahead of time all the fees that go along with these leather coats

Resolved: Limited access due to suspicious activity

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Account was limited with no access due to suspicious activity.
  • - I was told my email is compromised, which I dispute, and I want a phone call.

My account was limited - no access, as there was apparently suspicious activity. No one is able to tell me anything other than my email is compromised, which it isn't.

I have no access to my account and have constantly been asked to set up a new account with a new email address, which I'm not doing as I don't have another email. I have requested a phone call as the bot is not working to solve the issue.

Preferred solution: I want my account reinstated so I can purchase patterns

User's recommendation: It was good until this issue came up
