Gumtree 'I work offshore can only pay via PayPal' scam

Hi there, I had a little email communication with a Sarah biggs this morning and instructed him/her to pay £200 for a bed into my PayPal account in the assumption it was a bit weird, but PayPal safe so should be ok either way. Something them prompted me to Google 'Sarah Biggs Gumtree Offshore' and up popped this thread. I've since changed my PayPal password, but my question is, should I be doing anything further or is there any way the scammer can progress this? Apologies, I've a bit of a blind spot when it comes to PayPal as don't use it often, so any advice gratefully received. Many thanks.
