I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

Etsy holding funds for 45 days. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The thing that gets people is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol
