PayPal keeping my money...

PayPal made me wait 10 days for my £128 from eBay to become available. When it finally became available I withdrew it and it's been 48hours and nothing is in my account...I know "it takes up to 72 hours" but I have just withdrawn £14 from another eBay sell and it is straight into my account...so where is the rest of my money?? Every transaction I have ever made with my bank has been instant, this is the first time it has ever taken more than 2 hours...

They're doing it to a lot of accounts now. It will take exactly 72 hours to clear into your bank. It used to always be instant for me and now every withdrawal for the last 3 and a half weeks has taken 72 hours. PayPal aren't willing to help and just give vague answers like 'it's a security feature to protect you as a seller' which obviously isn't the case - it's to hold onto your funds to earn interest.
