Everything else is on you, it seems. In the same logic as New York’s “broken windows” policing campaign, when scammers see a broken ecom site, they know there’s no oversight that will catch their scams.

Given how awfully bad Etsbay’s “customer service” has become over the past ten-odd years, you stand a better chance of getting the attention of a scammer than a bona-fide CS representative….

Of course, I’m using hyperbole to make a point; I’d never answer a scammer’s email nor have I ever, I’m proud to say.
