Possible PayPal dispute... what are my chances?

I'll try to trim the fat and get down to the details. After said information - I'd like your guys' opinion on my chances of actually winning this potential PayPal dispute.

Scenario: I sell a pair of rare Nike SB's on e-bay for about $125. Purchaser uses the Buy It Now feature, and pays within the same day. All fine and dandy until (will summarize in list form for easier reading) the following events.

Buyer: Pays with Paypal
Me: I ship to buyers confirmed address listed in buyers paypal
Buyer: Receives shoes, but DENIES the shipment, and has it "returned to sender".
Buyer: Then sends me a message e-bay saying; "dude, where's my shoes?"
Me: I reply saying; "uhhh you received it, but sent it back, check the tracking number I provided you, it clearly states that YOU DENIED THE PACKAGE"
Buyer: Then replies with; "oh, uh that was a mistake, please send it back" - he sends $16 to resend the package.

at this point - I'm already skeptical. I'm aware that this is a possible scam, but I figure - what the hell? I have the tracking information, and I've saved all our correspondences, if the kid tries to really do a charge back - I have full proof showing that he received the package.

Me: Out of my confidence in being able to provide evidence that the package was initially sent, denied receipt, then re-sent - I sent the shoes again. Three days later, after my 2nd shipment, the new tracking number shoes that he has indeed received the shoes.
Buyer: Sends me another message on e-bay saying; "umm, I still didn't receive the shoes, what's going on?"
Me: I replied with the tracking number. Not only the tracking number - but also the paid receipt of the 1st AND 2nd shipment, and a scanned image of the 2nd tracking slip.

With all that said - will this guy still be able to do a chargeback on me?

Thanks for helping out.

Send UPS - Adult Signature Required.
 
He won't be successful in denying receipt but if he's motivated and dishonest, he'll think of something else. My opinion? The guy is just very disorganized.
