Hypothetical question

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

Etsy holding funds for 45 days. I've been dealing with this for about 4 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

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

A lot of people mess up by is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Airbnb's resolution center is designed to wear you down. Keep escalating until you reach a case manager (not a general support agent). They have more authority to override the algorithm's decisions.
