Scam

I recently just found out from Grailed that the guy who supposedly bought my item made a fake purchase message and sent a fake email... I really need some help because the item has already shipped into the persons house. My grailed username is leosong2005 and the buyer who i am asking about is countincnotess. So last week I sold a supreme x TNF mountain crewneck https://www.grailed.com/listings/6188623 and shipped it last Saturday. I reread the email and the money is supposed to get off hold as soon as I provided tracking and I provided tracking as soon as I shipped. My problem is, he said the money would come in as soon as the item arrived to him and today it just arrived as I saw from the tracking. I can provide the tracking information if needed but the thing is, his account on grailed got banned. My other form of communication was Instagram and today I found out he deleted his account. The money is still on hold and the item has already been shipped so if you guys could help me work this out that would be great. I can provide information if needed and I have proof of shipping the exact item and providing tracking. Though I can no longer show what day I provided tracking on since the guy deleted his Instagram.

Sounds like this scam.............

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.

So is there any way I can get money or my item back? It has arrived at his house and I’m honestly just eager to know or get some info...
