I have received payment for a vehicle including delivery, PayPal have put the payment on hold and notified me this could be for up to 21 days? I cannot deliver the vehicle until i have cleared funds, no answer from PayPal?

You shouldn't use PayPal for full payment of a vehicle, except for a small deposit to hold the vehicle, until the buyer can show up with cash. There is no Seller Protection for vehicle sales or items picked up in person. 

 

Here are PayPal links with details on Seller Protection and potential scams.
