Okay so I made and order that is less than $200 from spend bitcoins to paypal and paypal is investaging money sent to me..... and it says the money is held and under the status says "Pending review from paypal"

Is this common/expect?
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I've had a few payments from buyers end up in that same review and they have all cleared within 24hrs(so far)

Why exactly or what they are "reviewing" I have no idea.

Why exactly or what they are "reviewing" I have no idea.

I believe that can happen if the buyer is using a PayPal account where there is no bank account linked to it.  There are some trades I've done where I was informed in advance by the (trusted) buyer that this would happen -- and sure enough it did get placed "under review" and then in under 24 hours after the transaction the funds were released.

I know that SpendBitcoins had the problem recently where they had to re-verify identity, so perhaps PayPal treated it similarly as not having a linked account.
