Transaction Holds
Sold plenty of high value items and always received the the funds within two calendar days. Maintained good seller history with all positive feedback. My two latest high value items sold funds are not available for 30 days. Why? eBay support chat/call was no help with an explanation.

Looking at the amounts involved, this appears consistent with eBay's high-priced item transaction hold policy.
Your two latest sales were both on September 3 and were significantly high-value transactions. eBay states that certain high-priced items may have the funds held for about 31 days after the transaction date, even when the seller is experienced and has a solid selling history. eBay does not publish a specific dollar amount that automatically triggers this type of hold.
There are other reasons eBay can apply transaction holds as well, including unusual selling activity, so only eBay can confirm the exact reason for a particular transaction.
If your Payments page is showing a release date about 30/31 days after those sales, the high-priced item hold would fit what eBay describes here:
