Why is my recived payment on hold

[vi21424324545]

I sold an item through ebay on the 4th,checked my paypal account to make sure i had recived payment before posting,it said payment recived but on hold until the 12th,(paypal have already taken their cut though),checked my account today 13th,the holding period has now ben moved to the 16th even though my buyer recived her item the next day,i have been making purchases on my debit card through paypal(at least twice in the past month),and they just pretty much froze my funds,i'm so glad i didn't list a more expensive item (this one was £40.00),i'm sure theres an interest scam somewhere here,does anyone know roughly how long it will take to access my funds ?,tnx,vic
