Paypal holding funds

I have been selling on ebay since February. I have 100% positive on 70 items now paypal have decided that as a new seller they are going to hold my payments until either 21 days have passed, I send the tracking number or I mither my buyers for feedback.
When I emailed asking how long this was going to go on I got an extremely patronising response. Most of my stuff goes for between £3 to £4 so its not worth sending tracked. Is there any way I can get them to stop doing this?
TIA

Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

No not really.
Live with it, don't hassle the buyers for feedback and eventually it should be lifted.
It's not great but it's tolerable.0 -
Thank you, that is what I suspected but I just don't understand why I am suddenly a new seller after 60 odd sales. I would have thought that they would hold funds for the first few months not wait for three months then call me new.
Not to worry though, I have a few large items collection only to list so will avoid using paypal an do cash on collection for them. I might then just close my account as it was only my own unwanted things I was selling. I can charity shop the rest.Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is.

Try phoning them and asking. Paypal seem to work better over the phone..0

It is *usually because you 1)list more than normal 2)list higher value items (not the case) or 3)list more scamable items (possibly not the case here either).0

I have only listed around 40 items a month and have sold about 50% of my listings. They emailed me 2 weeks ago saying I can now list 200 a month. I didn't ask for it they just said my limit has been raised from 100 to 200.
Most of my listings start at 99p and in the main it has been books and new makeup items, leftover stock and samples from when I was an avon rep.
It really is a mystery, anyway thank you all for the replies.Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.0 -
