Getting Paid

[arizonawildcatsfan1956]

Hello. I'd like to ask a question about how long it will take/how many items must be sold until PayPal stops putting a hold on the funds after a buyer makes a payment and makes the money immediately available? Is there a specific number of items a seller needs to have sold? 5 items sold? 10? 25? Or does the eBay account need to be opened for a certain amount of time? 3-6 months? A year? Or is it a combination of the number of items listed/sold and time a seller account has been opened/active?

It's discouraging to know that it's going to take at least a week to have access to the money from a PayPal payment after an item sells, and it makes me much more inclined to use Swappa or Craigslist. So, if someone could help me with this question, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance to any and all helpful replies!
