Am I being paranoid?

Hi guys
I bought a pair of concert tickets back in March but due to it clashing with a wedding in a couple of weeks I can't go.
I sold them through ebay in April and probably only made £5 profit but I just wanted to make my money back.
They buyer didn't pay straight away and emailed me saying that they had bought another pair and didnt really want these anymore. I stressed that this wasn't on and they seemed reasonable and paid for the tickets
They mailed me a couple of weeks asking
"Hi mate hope you have received the tickets from Ticketmaster now please could you tell me whe you will bes sending them thanks"
I received them the next week and sent them out via special delivery. I have checked on royal mail and they have arrived and signed for on the site. The signature isn't the name of the person who I posted them too. I have emailed the buyer a couple of times asking if they had arrived and were happy etc but had no reply
The address sent to is a confirmed address on ebay.
Am I being paranoid about getting ripped off here. Can they win a case where they file a dispute even though I had done everything correctly. Sorry for being too cautious but I am just a bit worried. I have supplied the tracking code onto the paypal transaction as well.

They should not be able to win a paypal claim as you have proof of delivery which is all paypal require.
