Think I'm getting scammed

I sent someone off craigslist some speakers. He sent me the money for shipping, the item, + the 3% fee no problem. Over email he told me to ship the items to an address which I did. I realized on the pay pal transaction that there was a different shipping address so I immediately turned around, went back to the post office and switched the shipping destination to the one in the PayPal receipt. I believe this was set up to be a scam the entire time and he will dispute the transaction for any reason he can find. Is there any way to win this?

Hi @bmac10,

 

This does sound like a typical Craigslist scam. In order to be eligible for PayPal's Seller Protection, you must ship to the address in the transaction details. It sounds like you were able to get that updated with the post office. If that's the case, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
