| Ordered a couple of items from a Canadian seller. One item arrived here in the
USA in the wrong color and I asked for a refund. Seller states I have to wait
until the 21-day hold on payments is up before he can send me the refund.
Is this 21-day hold a new thing now?

A couple factors could cause this.
If you paid with bank transfer, the funds could be held by PayPal until they
fully clear.
If the account is new for the seller, PayPal will hold funds for xx days to ensure
they aren't a scammer.

That makes sense - seller is a newbie.
