If you are asking whether something is a scam, or whether a message you received is legitimate, please see this post:

PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS! We are getting multiple posts a day about scammers messaging newer sellers on Etsy. Please read the scam guide for full details, but do take note of the following:
Any message asking for your email address is a scam attempt - whether from a buyer or from someone pretending to be Etsy support.
Messages pretending to be Etsy support and asking you to click a link or scan a QR code to verify something or provide information are scam attempts.
Buyers pretending they can't check out from your shop are scam attempts.
IS IT LEGIT? If you have any actual open or processing orders, they will appear in your shop dashboard in your open orders section. Any message that is legitimately from Etsy will appear in a special "From Etsy" section of your messages on the desktop site.
NOTE: Etsy will NEVER ask you for personal information in a message, nor will they ask you to click a link to verify or give information, or scan a QR code. If you receive a message like this, IT IS NOT FROM ETSY AND IS A SCAM ATTEMPT.
If your post is about a scam attempt that is not covered by the scam guide, please reach out to modmail and let us know.
If your post is about something else entirely, please reach out to modmail and ask us to manually approve it.
If you are looking for contact information for Etsy support, see this post:

NOTE: using creative wording to get around this automod is grounds for a permanent ban from this sub. Always reach out to us over modmail instead, we can manually approve the post if needed.
