As we don't know the details of this transaction, we can only make some assumptions:

 

If the sender used the send money feature and choose the option for "Friends and Family" for a purchase, this is not really the way to sell something.  The second payment is under review most likely because of the timing - one payment shortly after another to same account may set off a security alert.  

 

Bottom line, you should have sent the buyer an invoice for the total amount, the buyer pays, you get the money, you then ship the item and record the tracking info - doing so provides you with Seller Protection and you would have received the total amount all at once plus you would have Seller Protection.

 

Right now you may not have proof of selling an item nor Seller Protection.
