For any number of reasons they can hold the money. I would bet since it is a phone, they don't want to release the funds because of the value. Document the phone when shipping, insure it, and then mail it. If you haven't sold a high value item in a while, it can be triggered automatically.

Basically they want to protect themselves to make sure they don't have to refund the buyer because you sent them something different or nothing at all. It makes it easier for them to get the money back from you.
Yeah, that's probably the reason. Just so frustrating. I have it already packed to ship on Monday. But when I did the label I forgot to get insurance on it. I have the serial number of the phone and it's packed super securely.

I wonder if I can add insurance at the post office.
