    It's probably just the 21 day hold and seller is trying to blame paypal for him not sending your goods out.

  • What message do you have? Have you logged safely into Paypal to see what your transaction details say?

    In that case it could be just routine, sit and wait for seller to do something. If nothing happens in a day or two start emailing them for a shipment date. The seller needs to be pro active with paypal about this.
