Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

Etsy holding funds for 45 days. I've been dealing with this for about 3 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $44,837. I have tried contacting their legal department 3 times with no resolution.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the EFTA. Your state may provide additional protections.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's legal aid society? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
