Is the payment showing in your PayPal account? If so you need to ship it in line with the dispatch time you have when you listed, so lets say 2 working days.
If you only quoted for 2nd class then that's how you send it, just pack it and take it to the Post office and get proof of posting.
As a new seller your PayPal funds won't actually be released for 21 days.
This thread will guide you through postage and PayPal protection
