Where are you seeing that the payment was pending and then completed? Are you just looking at emails, or are you seeing this in your actual PayPal account activity logo?
It sounds like you must be looking at emails, which if that's the case this could be an attempted scam. I have an article about this here that includes a video I would suggest you take a look at.
If you do see these transactions in your activity log then you should be able to track where it went from that log directly. Does it show Completed but On Hold for some reason? Sometimes even when an e-check clears or if you get an instant payment PayPal will hold funds until you prove delivery (which is what scammers try to feed off of.)
Please provide some more info about what exactly the situation is and I can try to help more.
