Whether you're a seller or a buyer, there are several ways to contact Etsy customer service if you have an issue. Etsy's customer support service can help sellers resolve shop issues, help buyers with orders they've placed, and more.

Calling, emailing, or starting an online chat are all options if you want to contact Etsy Support. Plus, the process is virtually the same whether you're a buyer or a seller. 

Important: You'll need an Etsy account and need to be signed in to contact Etsy online. This helps the company verify your identity and provide customer support.

1. Sign in to Etsy if you haven't already.
2. Go to the Etsy Help Center.
3. Under "What can we help you with?" there will be two options — a link for buyers and one for sellers. If you're a buyer, click "Buying on Etsy." If you're a seller, select "Selling on Etsy."
