Paypal holding money after delivery of goods

Hi everyone I recently sold some goods on ebay and sent them special delivery Royal Mail to buyer after he had paid money into paypal I tried to withdraw money to bank account £500 and it showed up as pending which is fair enough I received notification of delivery with pic of signature from Royal Mail but the buyer denies receiving or signing for the parcel so I am a little confused as to what happens now?? the payment has now been cancelled so do I just lose out or try to claim from the post office who claim item delivered and they have  a signature. Any help is much appreciated as it appears to me that the process is simply not safe and if people just deny signing for things then sellers simply lose out

I'm a little confused by the payment status. Did the payment come to you as COMPLETED or PENDING?

If you have trackable proof of delivery of the item to the buyer then you should be fine.

However if the item was lost in the post then you would need to refund the buyer and claim from your delivery company.
