PayPal does not hold funds fraudulently, when you created your account you accepted the user agreement and it is stated in PayPal's user agreement that they can withhold funds for 21 days. This below is a copy and paste from the PayPal User Agreement
A hold is an action that PayPal may take under certain circumstances either at the transaction level or the account level. When PayPal places a temporary hold on a payment, the money is not available to either the sender or the recipient. PayPal reviews many factors before placing a hold on a payment, including: account tenure, transaction activity, business type, past customer disputes, and overall customer satisfaction. Some common situations where PayPal will hold payments include:
- New sellers or sellers who have limited selling activity.
- Payments for higher-risk categories like electronics or tickets.
- Sellers who have performance issues, or a high rate of buyer dissatisfaction or disputes.
*Risk-based holds generally remain in place for up to 21 days from the date the payment was received into your PayPal account*
