Can anyone help with this one please?

I've provisionally sold something on ebay so I'll need to end the item. The guy I've sold it to has just said he's paid my on paypal which I've only ever used for buying, never selling before. I've got an email on my yahhoo mail account from paypal saying he's paid it but paypal has no record of it. the confirmation email was sent at 1:52 (just over an hour ago).

is this a scam or does it take a period of time to show up on my paypal account? i don't want to end the item/post the goods unless i have confirmation on paypal itself, do i? is it possible paypal has put it straight into my bank account without any record of it showing on there?

any advice greatfully received, thanks.
