I submited a claim and the buyer issued me refund, but the status is “being reviewed by Paypal".Now the refund is pending, I don't know how long is it going to be.

A seller can only issue a refund via funds in their paypal balance or an echeque.
So if its an echeque it has to clear through from the sellers bank account > paypal > and then it is credited to you and the hold lifted.
This is because paypal don't "refund in advance" like they do when you pay for an item and they credit the seller in advance for you and take the wait for the funds to process through to them.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
