paypal - bank reversal/held funds question

I sold a $24 item on ebay (sunday), buyer paid via paypal (monday), I shipped tuesday - USPS first-class w/o DC. I'm guessing it was delivered yesterday.
Yesterday I receive an email from paypal stating:
We were recently notified that a payment you received was reversed by the buyer’s bank. A bank reversal can be requested by the bank itself or the bank account holder.
I'm thinking that the buyer saw that I did not use DC, and did a chargeback knowing that I had no proof of delivery.
I always use DC for $50+, and SC for $250+
I understand that I risked shipping it that way and assume that I'm out the $24.
But, since it never hurts to ask, is there anything I can do now?
Does this mean the buyer will leave neg feedback, saying he never got the item?

That pretty well sums up what happens when the current crop
of SCUM masquerading as buyers is given ALL of the power in
a transaction.
Of course, it is possible that the e-check simply bounced and the
buyer will make it good for you.
It is NEVER a good idea to send an unknown EBAY buyer merch
w/o using DC. Many of them think that items w/o DC are GIFTS.

Yup. Pretty common happening.
Important to note that IF the seller conforms to the
PayPal requirements for the "Seller Protection Plan,"
the seller will generally not lose their money.
IF PP confirms that payment has been received and
it is "ok to ship," the seller is protected from such a
reversla IF he complied with the SP terms; in this
case, DC would have likely solved the problem.

the buyer's ID is: max122961
Paypal only charges .18 cents for DC when you print out the labels.

I don't much disagree with that, but in some item categories
it is sorta like trying to drain the ocean with a spoon.
I am often editing my BBLs through toolhaus --- to make room for new scumsters.
(There is a TH program that removes NARUd buyers from BBLs.
The risk in using it is that if you have a bad buyer who later bids
with another ID - and you have removed his old ID from the BBL -
he cannot be reported to EBAY as an "unwelcome bidder." Thus,
he can scam you again.)

I haven't gotten around to printing the labels yet, but I will now. Never knew it was cheaper to do it that way.
Thanks for the info.
good luck to you.

you don't even need label paper just print it out on regular paper and then tape it to the package. Quick, simple, easy, and safe!
