Well, I'm not sure how long it's been going on, but I've probably sold about fifty items totaling several thousand dollars with perfect feedback in the past three or four years and have never had funds held before. My listings are always in waves and not consistently posted, with gaps of several months between them sometimes. It struck me as being very random, and I can only expect that the fact that they do it must be embedded deep in the fine print on the user agreement - I was certainly not made aware that it might happen to me in any clearly stated way when I created my most recent round of listings.
