So let me get this straight.

If I have 100+ feedback they won't hold my money???

So all I have to do is buy 93 more items?

No, I'm getting the warning about holding money on my new account and that has just clicked over to 300+ feedback. About 200 of that is as a seller.

I cannot force people to leave me feedback. And what about those items I drop odd personally!?!

I am concerned about this statement, do you mean that you take paypal and then send untracked for high end goods? If so then please I urge you to stop selling until you have a chance to work through some of the more basic paypal rules. This could be a bigger problem that a simple hold. Although I recognise you are a very high volume seller you may still want to take a moment to read the useful tips for new sellers post here:

Is there any way of getting my account back quicker?

You haven't mentioned anything about losing your account If this is just the 21 day hold then no there is nothing that can be done, although it is usual for buyers to leave feedback much quicker if the seller leaves it first, so that is up to you to consider. If you do mean there are other issues with your account then please post details as I'm sure someone here can help.

So what the point is that I am seeing is to NOT sell on ebay and to not make an additional £3500 a month for my business.

There seem to be few other dedicated sites any more, Tazbar went last month and that basically leaves just ebid where traffic is very slow. If you went to get out of ebay you may have to go down the private website route and buy into directing traffic to it.

None of my other merchant services hold money this long so why should they??

Quite a lot of card processing companies hold onto to money and pay a month in arrears for some new businesses with no track record.

Paypal don't seem any different in this matter. As has been said if you use any service you have to abide by their rules. With Paypal this is only a temporary situation which will go once you demonstrate your relaibility.
