21 days hold and still I cant access my money

Hello, for the first time in my life, I sold something on eBay. Then I saw that on my Paypal site, it said they could hold my money up to 21 days. But. I could get positive feedback and so on, and they should be released earlier.    I mailed the buyer, he was happy with the items and such. I then wrote to Paypal, asking that it'd be great if I could get my money ''tomorrow'' (at that time it had been 19-20 days) because it was christmas shopping then in the big city, and I aint there everyday, and the fact that I sold the item was to get some extra christmas present shopping.   But no answer. When I got home a few days later, I wrote a new mail. Waited and waited, no answer on that one either. Around a week after that mail, I wrote a new mail again, and this time, I was seeing red. It was way past 21 days, and they dont even answer my mails. So lots of swearing and cursing. No answer on that one either..   So now, past new year, still nothing. So I guess I just gotta call, and I wish I could choke them through the phone, cus right now, I hate paypal, and its the worst sale experience I've ever had. And until this is fixed, I'm not ever gonna sell anything online again by using paypal. Also, I hear this is illegal. I think its a fine concept, that you're holding the money for the buyers safety and satisfication, but when it aint even legal... And that you also manage to screw it up.. Do some changes! And atleast let sellers get access to the shipping money!  ... View more
