"...etsy high risk activity detected..."
Why This Email Is Sent
Etsy's fraud detection engine identified activity on your account that exceeds normal risk thresholds. This could be triggered by transaction velocity, chargeback patterns, or associations with previously flagged entities.
What It Means
Your account is under active risk review. Payouts are likely paused and certain capabilities may be restricted. Etsy needs to verify that recent activity is legitimate before restoring full access.
Common Triggers
Chargeback or dispute rate exceeding platform thresholds
Rapid increase in transaction amounts or frequency
Transactions from high-risk countries or industries
Customer complaints or fraud reports filed against your account
Use of payment methods associated with known fraud patterns
Typical Review Duration
Risk reviews typically take 5–10 business days. If additional documentation is required, expect up to 21 days.
How to Resolve This Suspension
Gather evidence of legitimate business activity: invoices, shipping receipts, customer communications. Reduce exposure by pausing marketing while under review. Address the root cause — if chargebacks are high, implement prevention measures.
