    If you have sent it then don't refund.

    If you haven't you can refund and send an email explaining.

    Have you actually posted the item yet?
    If not email them telling them how sorry you are and how it was your mistake etc. Then tell them as the payment has not yet cleared you will refund it at such time as it does clear through paypal.
