Okay, everything is clear now.

the paypal address that I paid to has replied me.
"Hi there,I believe your "son" first contacted me on the 17/1/13 about my pair of air jordan shoes listed on gumtree. He asked me if he could pay through pay-pal and if i could then post them, i agreed.He then said that his 'Mum' did not want him buying shoes anymore, so he wanted me to invoice the amount of £75 to e-mail address: XXX@nhs.net requesting that i did not say anything about the invoice being for Jordan's, "just say tickets". I sent the invoice to XXX@nhs.net and the email address holder declined the request, he texted me saying that this was due to: "my mum didn't have 75 quid in the bank account, i will ask my dad tonight mate". He then asked for my Paypal e-mail address, to give to his "dad" which i assume is you. he texted me saying he payed from this email address: QQQ@gmail.com which is your email address. He then continued to tell me to post to the address: YYYYYYYY. I posted the shoes on the 19/1/13 . he then requested i send him a picture of the receipt to provide proof of postage, i sent a image to the following email address: ZZZ@yahoo.co.uk . I have all the text messages to prove this, text messages were sent from: 0778044CCCC. I also have proof of postage and since i sent out the item by recorded delivery, i cant track and see where it is and it is still processing through Royal Mail.""


obviously,
the spammer contact me and this guy separately.
And what could I do now?

I'm communicating with this paypal address owner.

And what if I escalate this case, can I get my money back?

That does not make any sense to me...
