Pending Funds - wait time

I sold an item on ebay and was paid immediately - the funds were held as "pending" though until they could confirm delivery and wait three days - the norm.  However, an attempt to deliver the package was made 6 days ago and notice was left for the person to contact USPS for redelivery or pick up.  I also emailed the buyer to let him know the package was at the post office waiting for him.  He still hasn't retrieved the package - so no "delivery" - thus, my funds are still pending.  Does anyone know when/if I will receive the funds, or what my next steps should be?

If you can't prove delivery of the item then you may have to wait the full 21 days.

 

BUT if the buyer never picks the item up and its returned to you then the buyer may file a dispute for non receipt and you would have to refund him.

Thanks for the info!  Looks like I'll just have to "wait and see" on this one.
