Can a Paypal payment be declined after an item is already shipped?

Buyer bought something from me and Ebay and immediately paid. They attached a note that said

Hi We may have an old credit card on file. PLEASE e-mail me if the paypal is a problem!

The money is in my Paypal account but it got me thinking. I buy things all the time when I have no money in Paypal since it is linked to my bank account. However it usually takes a day or two for it to hit said bank account.

If my bank account or someones credit card were to decline payment a day or two later what happens to the Paypal funds already given to someone else?
