Whenever you ship an item, you need to so so with a tracking number so PayPal knows when it is delivered.
What do the PayPal transaction details show?
Where did yo have something for sale?
Where are you located? Where is buyer located?

What are the details showing in you PayPal account. Look there rather than the email to help you understand the problem.

If your PayPal website transaction detail as pending it means the buyer has paid, but the money transfer has not been completed. What else does the transaction details page show? OK to ship or wait, and any other informaiton on that page.

That's not the detail page.
You need to go to the Activy summary page and click on the transaction. It will show a full page of information, including fees for the transaction. It will show the buyer's mailing address, and much more.
I looked at your image and it states clearly the buyer do not pay and it isn't that the payment is pending; it's that the request for money is waiting for the buyer to pay.

Are you actually selling something for over $3,000? If so, that seems to extremely high risk. What are you selling?
Suggest you carefully review PayPal policies for seller and buyer protection and then review your risk of huge loss.
