Deposit Issue
Hi! Has anyone opened a new shop on Etsy and actually managed to get their payment 90 days after their first sale? I’ve read so many posts, and everyone seems to be dealing with the same issue, but I haven’t seen anyone comment something like, "Yes, I finally got my money after X days." Etsy support says you can get the deposit 20 days after your first sale, but from what I’ve found, that doesn’t really happen. When I talked to Etsy support, they told me this could go on for up to 180 days. Another support agent said my total balance needs to be higher than the ‘not yet available money,’ but as I keep making sales (averaging 8-10 sales a day for the past week), the ‘not yet available’ amount keeps increasing. How can it ever match if it keeps going up? They even suggested I switch to vacation mode to balance the amount, which is unbelievably ridiculous—do I really need to stop making money in order to continue making money? I’m so frustrated and confused right now. If anyone has any advice or experience with this, I’d be super grateful for the help. Fyi I've been selling self-made digital prints and I made my first sale on 19th of August. Thank you!
