Will Ebay definitely give me the money for item? | Payments

I sold an item and Royal Mail says it was delivered with a photograph, on April 23rd.Ebay says they paid and funds are on hold until 5th May. What the heck is that about? If the buyer doesn't confirm the delivery, will ebay allow them to steal the item and I won't get the payment, or will I definitely get the payment on 5th May? Why does ebay keep the money like that? I'm worried about selling any more items unless I understand about if I'll definitely get any payment. I'm selling it for a friend and I'll have to give them my own money if I don't get the money from ebay.
