Online marketplace Etsy has been accused of withholding money from sellers through its “reserve system”.
Etsy has been criticised by its sellers for putting 75% of their takings on hold for 45 days as hundreds of small businesses received an email informing them the marketplace was actioning a reserve system.
Etsy said payment reserves were used to “keep the marketplace safe” and cover any potential refunds, according to the BBC.
