Why is my balance being withheld | Payment processing on eBay

I sold an item and shipped it a day later. After a few days, I received my money for it and everything went well. A few days later, my money was put on hold and I’m wondering why. I did some research and found out that there may have been a complaint from the buyer. But I didn’t receive any email or anything else so it could be clarified. After that, I checked the buyer and found out that the account was created a day before, and now I think this is a new scam. But really, I have no idea. Of course, eBay doesn’t send any notification either, and support is totally useless anyway.
