Is this a scam or is it legit?

Hi there,

I have recently sold an item and received this message from the buyer (not showing the e-mail in case it is no a scam):

 

"Hi Mate, Am the winning buyer of your lovely item, I will like you to contact me via xxxx@xxxxx.com so we can sort out postage and delivery method. I will be traveling for a business trip so i will be accessing my email via iphone. Kindly email me as soon as possible via xxxxx@xxxxx.com and use the item number as subject and also send your PayPal email. Awaiting to read from you ASAP. Regards.

I answered him with my paypal e-mail and the amount he would need to pay. I sent him an outside e-mail, though, not through ebay (huge mistake here?). After a couple of days he answered me with this e-mail: 

 

"Hi

 
Am having some difficulties with my eBay account and i will be making the payment once i have fix it.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience."
 
Should I be worried? What can he do with just my e-mail? I have already changed all my passwords, is there anything else I should do?
 
Thanks a lot in advance!!!!! I'm really worried about these...
 
Cheers and happy holidays!
