Trouble at Etsy. Accounts have been seeing charges of over $5000 to their credit cards connected to their shop accounts. Shoppers might want to check their accounts as well. Etsy took $12,000 from this shop owner @etsy #etsy
Any Etsy sellers who see this, please retweet! I don't have much of a following so not many people will see it. #etsyseller #etsysellers #etsy
Etsy is not cancelling these charges because that means Etsy will lose a lot of money, so they decided to instead send the money back to shop owners payment accounts. Shop owners will not get their money back until next week and the damage will be done by then.
