Money accidentally sent as payment and not gift

This is a little stupid but hear me out! My brother intended to send me 1200EUR to help finance a purchase. (So in the reference he wrote "for /item/"). Now he made a mistake and sent the money as a payment rather than as a gift, so now since i am a "new seller" i have to wait 21 days for before i have the funds available.(Also 30EUR has been deducted because of this). I really need the money ASAP and i don't know what to do....Any ideas?? Thanks! @kernowlass @sharpiemarker @comuser28 @UserJ

If you mark the transaction as processed or shipped then the sender may have the option on their account to mark the transaction as delivery/satisfied. If they confirm this by clicking on the "Confirm Receipt" button, the funds may be released to you sooner. This is not always guaranteed. 
If not then sadly its 21 days.
