Funds held? I'm so confused

Hi everyone.

I am really confused about something. I have a few items on eBay, with "Buy It Now". I had put them up on Monday and they have been selling throughout the week. Someone made a purchase on the 28th (December), and by the 30th..the funds where held? What's going on? I go to my account to resolve and the options about showing proof of item being shipped, etc don't apply.. because the items where NOT sent yet.

 

On my listing, it shows that processing should take 5 days. I am not a power seller, so I don't do this for a living. Every now and then I throw stuff on eBay to sell but always make the processing time about a week because I have a full time job and other obligations.

 

There has been no communication at all between the buyer and I. I'm just curious.. what's going on? Am I going to be **bleep**ed? I've heard some bad things about eBay and PayPal recently, and I hope I'm not someone that gets scammed out of an item/money because eBay/PayPal allows it.

 

Any help or advice is appreciated.
Thank you!
