1. Feedback does not count for payment release.
2. You can't so if its the new seller hold you would have to wait 21 days for the funds as you can't meet the criteria for payment release.

That response was back in 2012 and things have changed >>>
Feedback no longer counts for payment release.
Info in the link but make sure you scroll right to the bottom of the page or you will miss the release criteria times.

What if the buyer says that the item received is not as discribed and the truth is the seller did really send the good item, can the buyer scam a new seller on ebay?

Well they can't really scam them as the buyer has to return the item back to the seller at their own expense before a refund is made.
But selling is always a risk, you just have to read up on seller protection and make sure you set your buyer requirements to reduce the risk as much as possible.

Hi ayososanya,
Sorry to hear about the issues you're having with getting the payment released. We'd definitely advise adding the tracking number on PayPal, and contacting Customer Support to have the release of the payment expedited.
Here’s how to add your tracking information to the transaction:
- Go to www.paypal.co.uk and log in to your account.
- Click ‘History’ near the top of the page.
- Find the relevant transaction.
- Click ‘Details.’
- Click ‘Add Tracking Info’ under ‘Postage’ near the bottom of the page.
- Complete the required information on the ‘Enter Tracking Information and Order Status’ page.
- Click ‘Save.’
You can find our contact details by clicking on 'Contact Us' at the bottom of any page when logged in. Alternatively, you can contact us via Facebook (www.facebook.com/PayPalUK) or Twitter (@AskPayPal) for assistance.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Sophie

I am also having the same problem, I sold a phone end of August, I added tracking information to paypal and also ebay, buyer received item and left positive feedback and funds are still pending, it's my sons birthday in a couple of days and I was going to treat him a little bit but looks unlikely now
