How to get funds released from hold? Any tips?

Hoping for some guidance or suggestions. I am a seller of High dollar items ( Forklifts mostly ) on ebay for probably 20 years now. I have 100 feedbacks with 100% of them positive. The majority are seller feedbacks. I just sold an item for $6900 on ebay a week ago. It is an industrial machine that requires a flatbed truck to deliver ( its not a ups or fedex item ) The item was picked up , and delivered 150 miles away to the ebay buyer. He has it now in his possesion and is using it.  The buyer is SUPER HAPPY and left good feedback as well. Ebay is holding my money until NOV 24th and im told its because they want to make sure buyer received item and is happy.. THATS ALREADY CONFIRMED. The buyer even messaged ebay direct to let them know . THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. Im hoping someone with common sense and experience can let me know how to handle this. The customer service is like talking to robots. Any advice? Ill pay it forward. Thanks.

Because you're an infrequent seller, ebay can hold funds back for up to 30 days.  It's policy, and there's nothing to be done but wait it out.

You haven't sold anything in a little while and it sold for more then $1000, so they will hold the funds for 30 days.

Cant get the funds any sooner, you'll just have to wait until the hold is released.

Have a great day.

Unless eBay is asking for receipts or such, you just have to sit tight until they release it.
