OP
DID pay via echeck- hence the delay. PayEnemy/Ebay in no way warns the buyer that there will be a delay until the funds clear when they pay via a checking account- so buyer thinks that it's something being done by the seller.
If one also has a credit card linked to their PayEnemy account, they can avoid the delay when they pay via a checking account.
For the others: The delay the OP encountered had nothing to do with the notorious "PayPal Hold". When PayPal holds your money, it still shows as cleared when it has cleared the funding source.
