Funds on hold - Estimated release on …. What is this?

[daddysworkbench]

I’ve sold on eBay for years. I created the mailing label for the buyer when I noticed a message “Funds on hold — estimated release on July …”.  What is this message? Is the buyer in question? 

i held onto the label for several days. I contacted the buyer that the funds would released  later. He wrote and didn’t know what that was about. 

I have 100% feedback. What is this about?

If your Ebay payout is on hold, you ship the item to the buyer. It has nothing to do with the buyer.

Per Ebay:

If your funds are not immediately available from payments for an item you sold, you're not allowed to hold shipment until the funds are released

Infrequent sellers are subject to payment holds.
