Recent Paypal - Ebay rule

I don't quite like the recent paypal / Ebay rule where I need to establish a successful sales history on eBay before I can have access to the funds I've received (will be held for 21 days). This is so annoying.  Can see, cannot touch.  I understand they need to protect the buyers but don't they need to protect the sellers as well?  I started selling on Sunday (15th Sep) and got stuck with this! :(
