Payment withheld?
Hello, I made a sale where the amount is apparently initially withheld by eBay by default. However, the buyer received the item, is very happy with it, and has already left positive feedback. Is there no way for me to get my money earlier? I’m not keen on waiting a whole month.
Kind regards, R.W.

In addition, ratings and confirmations from buyers aren't really accepted.
You'll have to wait.
