Happened to me as well today. Have been an eBay and PayPal seller for over a decade with no issues. eBay says the hold is not on their end as my account is above standard with no issues. PayPal says its because the transaction looks suspicious on my end because I sold a similar item 2 weeks ago at a different price. The item 2 weeks ago sold for $20 more because it came with an additional accessory that this one doesn't. I tried explaining that to them, and the general nature of auctions and how they dont always end at the same price, and that I've never had a complaint filed against me in the decade + I've been selling. They didnt care. They just just kept saying "This is the way it works. Deliver the item and you'll get your money." It's crap like this that makes me post stuff on Amazon and other sites first before attempting eBay. Selling on eBay is always a last resort for me. After this it will become even more rare if I sell at all.
