My order is still processing

If you received an email from Etsy saying that your Etsy order is still processing, it means that your purchase is being screened by Etsy’s third-party partner. All Etsy Payments orders are screened to ensure that the orders are legitimate and to protect from possible fraud.

Most orders are processed in under 72 hours. You’ll receive a confirmation email when the review is complete.

Why is there a charge on my card if my order is still processing?

You may see a charge on your credit card or bank statement while we work to process your order. The charge will only be finalized when the purchase has been processed successfully.
