Money request on Hold from buyer

The buyer's money appears on Hold (I'm not a regular seller). It has been more than a month for the purchase and have provided Paypal proof of shipment with postage details but the payment still hasn't been released into my account. What should I do? Paypal is not responding to my emails/messages.

Thank you for your feedback, in advance.
