Paypal has an automatic 21 day 'hold' policy for payments to sellers with poor or low feedback. They hold the money in the sellers account where they can see it but can't touch it, and do not release it until the buyer confirms the goods have been received in good order.

Chill out.

Yes they do this in the UK with people with a low rating etc. My friend sells occasionally on ebay and this happens every time until the buyer gives positive feedback then the money is released by PayPal.
