Ahhh! Paypal sucks now

Okay I am soooo bugged I sold some stuff on ebay and the only payment I accept is paypal and it's been that way for years because it is/was the best, fastest and easiest way to pay and recieve payment well now they hold funds for 21 days including shipping! What the heck now sellers are expected to front the costs of shipping then get payment that stinks. I was on the phone with customer service for almost 10 mins before I got through and they said that is the new policy and it will stay that way unless you are a power seller with a positive rating over 100. Well I guess that means I need to sell and buy more on ebay quick to get my funds faster. :(
