Money 'temporarily held' Why?!

I accidentally added my old paypal address to my E-Bay and was paid nearly £40 into that account. My old account is in my maiden name. I transferred that money to my new account then noticed there was money in there that I didn't realise I had as well and transferred that too.
Paypal blocked my old account until I jumped through their hoops, emailing ID, changing passwords etc. The money on my new account is being held, but no reason was given why. This is my money! I emailed them and explained on both accounts and gave ID to prove I own both. It's been 5 days and my money is still being held for no reason and Paypal sent me only a standard automated email, which didn't answer my questions.
WTF is going on??
