Etsy Scam

Options
Hoping someone can offer some advise. Me and my wife have been scammed via the Etsy app whilst trying to set up as a seller. Does anyone know if Etsy have to take any responsibility seeing as the hackers are clearly 'in their system' getting email details etc.? 
 The bank are happy to not get involved because the payment was verified. 
 Greatful for feedback

    You have to input you email details to open an Etsy account but you dont pay any money.  What website were you on to get scammed?

    You are going to give more details of what has happened if anyone is going to be able to help.

    You'll probably have to share more about how you were scammed to get any real advice.

    If you're with one of the major high street banks, they're more likely to pay you back if you've been scammed, but you may have to push them.

    How can you be certain the hackers aren't in your system?
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
