I have sold an item that was a pick up only item. Buyer paid at time of purchase with funds being on hold.  I agreed to post after he paid me directly for posting.  In the past the funds are released to me after a few days but not this time.  On this occasion the item has been received and he acknowledged this.   I have requested code to say that he has received it.  He is taking his time. I've texted him, called and left message, yet no return call. What can I do?

The code is for pickup, not posted.

The buyer has the item; it is unlikely they wish to engage with you any more.

Of course, if you keep attempting to engage they could engage back with a red dot.

Just wait out the holding period.

Thanks, good to know there is a holding period. How long is it?

Usually it is 30 days, since you will seen as a 'new' seller on this account. As mentioned, if you keep harassing the buyer they may well leave you a red dot

Hopefully you posted the item and sent it with tracking so have proof the item was received.
