I understand you are trying to protect buyers on the ebay site from being ripped off.I understand you trying to stop money laundering etc etc etc but it would have been a courteous and honourable thing to inform me that as soon as I sold anything you were going to automatically freeze access for the magic number of twentyone days.
Can you imagine how much unnecessary stress that would cause someone who is desperately trying to raise a sum of money in order to pay his rent? I own the stuff I am selling it is not stolen, what better way to raise a small sum of money quickly than to use an online auction site....or at least it used to be.
Now it seems to run with a design to cause all the sellers (that`s those people who make your company money by selling their wares) the most amount of grief and inconvenience.
Let`s be honest you just want to drag out releasing money because you can earn more in interest. I bet you wouldn`t let someone drive off with your car whilst a third party holds on to the money for nearly a month but somehow you lot in paypal
have convinced yourselves its okay to do it to your loyal customers.!!!
I know that what I have written here will not a change a thing but at least I had a chance to air my feelings.

Hi there jomico,
I understand your frustrations.
It does not always take the full 21 days. Your funds will be released within 24 hours from when one of the following occurs:
• The buyer leaves you positive feedback
• 21 days pass without a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal being filed on the transaction
• You provide a tracking number which shows that the item has been delivered over 3 days ago
Hope this helps!
Siobhan
