Today, I looked at the revenue from my Etsy shop. After hours and hours of hard work, I was ecstatic to find that I made about $560 so far. That is, until I remembered that it all went to my mom's bank account and I paid all the fees out of my own pocket. And yes, she won't give it back. FML

If she really cries every time you mention it like your name implies, she clearly doesn't have the mental capacity to know right from wrong because a good parent doesn't just take money their kid earned and then cry when they want the money.

witholding money that you have rightfully earned is illegal. but since the amount is 560 dollars, im not sure you can do anything about it, without it costing more than that. im not sure if you *can* get free lawyers anymore.

That's really messed up, sorry OP. If she does cry every time like your name says, she is probably trying to manipulate you so she doesn't have to give it back. Stand up to her, OP.

Take her to small claims court. No lawyer needed, and you have to prove tour case by a preponderance of the evidence. (Meaning the judge has to be more than 50% sure you are right.) Any parent should be ashamed to steal their childs earnings.

What she is doing is illegal. You should be able to have access to your funds without your mom holding any $$ from you.

Especially since you earned the money through your own hard work, and paid the extensive fees that they charge.

Every mother's day, birthday, etc, in lieu of buying her a gift, just tell her you are subtracting $X from the $560 she owes you (continue well past $560).

Hey OP what's the name of your etsy shop?

That's awful! But at least the fact that you made some money shows that people were interested in what you're selling.

In the future OP direct all of your earnings to PayPal. I'm an etsy seller too, but since I don't have a bank account I have all of my money go to a PayPal account were I can save up there.
