纽森州长表示，政府正在与联邦存款保险公司合作，以“稳定”Etsy推迟向部分卖家付款的情况，因为这家电子商务市场将倒闭的硅谷银行作为其支付合作伙伴之一。这一建议引起了人们对他们Etsy商店未来的担忧。据the Verge周日报道，Etsy早在3月10日就开始通知受影响的卖家延迟付款。“最近，由于硅谷银行(Silicon Valley Bank)的意外倒闭，我们在向一些卖家付款时出现了延迟。我们的团队一直在夜以继日地实施解决方案，”Etsy的一位发言人告诉媒体。该发言人表示，该电子商务平台预计将在“未来几个工作日内”通过其他支付合作伙伴向卖家付款，部分延期付款将于周一开始处理。Etsy上的几位卖家对延迟付款表示不满。推特用户和Etsy卖家@ maridah.com表示，由于SVB的崩溃，那些“每天都要支付定金”的卖家可能无法按时收到定金。这真是太棒了。如果你像我一样，经营着一家在Etsy上销售商品的企业，由于硅谷银行(Silicon Valley Bank)崩盘，如果你把存款设置为每天支付，你可能就看不到存款了。 Really regret buying so many groceries today pic.twitter.com/WTEYDDrY6e Gee, owner of Etsy store Cultivated Laser, told The Verge that the delay "came at the most inopportune time for our business: right after a large inventory purchase and right before a move across the country." Alison Ugur, owner of Etsy shop HookN20, said she has not yet received communication from the platform. "There is no Etsy site update or alert, no communication," she shared, according to the outlet.

It is unclear how the SVB collapse will affect other sellers who have set up their payments after Friday and are waiting for an update from the e-commerce marketplace. Another Etsy seller, Owen McKinney, told NBC News that the delay would have a "catastrophic" impact on his business, as the platform has not yet provided a specific timeframe as to when the deposits would be processed.

As one of the sellers who got the email about delayed deposits, she would not have the funds needed to ship orders. The Silicon Valley Bank, which played a major role in financing startups, collapsed Friday morning and was taken over by federal regulators. A day earlier, SVB stocks plummeted, pulling the shares of other banks down. The bank announced mid-week that it had sold securities at a loss and would also sell more than $2 billion in new shares to help with its balance sheet. Trading in SVB shares stopped Friday morning, and the bank did not raise capital or find a buyer so California regulators shut the bank down and placed it under receivership. Read more
