I think most fraud on Marketplaces like amazon/ebay now happens through people trying it on and asking people to bypass the payment protection systems that are in place-i.e sending payment to a different address/ issuing a refund without going through the ebay process etc.
Sounds like this guy might want you to voluntarily send payment again/send it to another address because he's putting the guilts on you-either way the change of ID is a definite red flag. There seems to be lots of accounts getting hacked on Amazon atm with items listed at much lower prices and a 'shipping not available to all locations, email first for confirmation' tag on the seller ID.
As scilly says-if he was legit he would be getting in touch with Paypal and not you, and he wouldn't have sent the item if he genuinely didn't receive payment to begin with so I'd ignore him.
