It's a little strange the first time you sell an item, but I sold a laptop recently and had no issue getting paid for it, just took a few days longer to officially get the payment in hand.
It wasn't always that way. In the past I've sold items and was able to use Paypal funds immediately. Not anymore.
About 9 months ago there was an Apple /// that I really wanted, so I sold off some of my vintage calculators to pay for it. I won the auction, but could not use my Paypal balance to pay for it.
The twist in this story is that my wife was the highest bidder on all my items--she didn't want me selling of my calculators. Even though she marked all items as received (local pickup, and she did take them BTW (I got them back for xmas)), I still had to wait 7 days to use the Paypal funds.
I have a 100% rating buying and selling. Doesn't matter.
