In essence then your answer is to allow eBay to behave as they see fit.


How on earth did you come to that conclusion when my post explains why holds are in place.  For the protection of your account and your buyer.

 

Before these holds were happening,  there were many,  too many questions here,  asking what to do as member's accounts had been hacked,  they've suddenly sold 3 Rolex's ,  seen 4 vehicles sold on their account, etc.  These questions are few and far between.

 

From that alone,  you can see those holds are a good security measure eBay employ, and effective.

 

Your money will be released, but only will know when it's safe to do so.
