I don't think you have the friends/family ie gift option in your country but best check to be sure.
If I am correct then all payments will go as for goods/services and be subject to the new seller hold.
However If you mark the transaction as processed then the sender may have the option on their account to mark the transaction as delivery/satisfied. If the sender confirms this by clicking on the "Confirm Receipt" button, funds may be released sooner ie 7 days after the sender verifies receipt. This is not always available or guaranteed.
If not then sadly its 21 days.

Yes, i know there is a 'send money', I didn't say there wasn't, what I said was that you don't have the friends/family option so all payments go as goods/services.
The rest I have already advised you what to do.
