Security Message MC 139/MC 143

Hi
Not sure if anyone can help but I recently sold an item on ebay (clothing of small value) to someone in the Czech Republic. They contacted prior to bidding and all appeared ok, they won the item and paid promptly -£5 inc postage. I sent it and they gave good feedback.
However I have now received a MC139 security alert from ebay stating that the account was used fraudulently and that I shouldn't contact the buyer again.
My listing has also been removed - I don't have the item anymore so it doesn't really matter.
I am just wondering if anyone has had this happen before and if anything will happen next. Will paypal take the money back.
Thanks in advance.

If they try and take the money back then you can defend it with proof of posting, so keep your POPs somewhere safe.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

A POP wouldn't be sufficient though, would it?They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0
