PayPal Standard Payment On Hold or Pending

I am using PayPal standard to make transactions in a WordPress website. I've set the API credentials and works perfectly means the transactions are done perfectly. But when I open the SandBox buyer account, I can see the following with pending status and the payments don't appear in the seller's account:

PayPal Standard

I've seen the PayPal official site to check this out and they say, sometimes they put on hold for verification. I would like to know if anyone has faced it before and how will this be available or completed later?

I've one another thing to know - I've used the PayPal Express Checkout plugin for transactions. But in the dashboard, it says WooCommerce Gateway PayPal Express Checkout requires OpenSSL >= 1.0.1 to be installed on your server and doesn't show the feature in the WooCommerce checkout settings. So do I have to set SSL for that?

Note: I am doing the above in localhost using WAMP.

You can't use localhost it's not a valid URL, PayPal can't access your local enviornment.Local host cannot be resolved on distant machines in case Paypal server.

Best way upload to the web, there's a number of free PHP web hosts out there if you don't have one.
