Potential buying scam

I have just sold a mobile phone.  After an email conversation and the phone being dispatched,  the buyer contacted me 24 hours after posting telling me couriers cant find his address.  This seems extremely suspicious to me. I asked why he didn't disclose this before I posted. He had no explanation.  I have ebay protection but this is very suspicious,  right?

It just says dispatched. Being a bank holiday weekend I wouldn't expect it
to be sent on its way until Tuesday. I hope im wrong but it was just too
suspicious.

Is it the £65 phone?

 

If so, that's not the usual scammer magnet. 

 

Worse case scenario, I'd say, is that if the package can't be delivered it'll be returned to you.
