Money is being held

[dtrelectric]

I recently sold an item on eBay. The customer has received the item, and the customer is happy with the item, so why is my money being held up? From what I can gather, PayPal can take up to 21 days to release my funds? If that’s the case, I’ll never use PayPal again, as it’s not very fair that I no longer have my merchandise, the merchandise was delivered in good shape to a customer who is happy about the transaction, and I’m unable to access the funds which are mine. What more can I do in an effort to recover my money?

Ebay and Paypal are 2 separate companies and have 2 separate policies for holding funds for 'new sellers'.

If yours was an Ebay transaction then its an Ebay hold and Ebay authorise when paypal can release the funds.
Normally for Ebays hold funds are released when tracking shows the item as delivered + 1 days (if you use Ebay / paypal postage).

Info in this Ebay link below about Ebays hold.
