Firstly its not instant on feedback being left or tracking being left and you need to email paypal to make them aware that you have met the criteria for fund release before 21 days are up and they will release the hold. They have billions of transactions and can't check everyone to see this and its not automatic that payments are released before 21 days. Also feedback is not the only criteria for funds to stop being held there are many other reasons. Finally if you refuse to send an item to the buyer cus your funds are being held then it will encourage them to leave false feedback. If you would like more info on when payments stop being held i will post them for you. It is a pain but its only until you have a proven good seller record and we all have to go through it.
