Buyer requesting cancelation | Selling

I sold a card today after receiving an offer for $250. The buyer has 0 feedback but it's an older account and I'm covered by the authentication process so I accepted the offer. I pack the order up and drop it in my local USPS Dropbox (I know, its better to go inside and get a receipt but had my toddlers with me and i took the convenient route). Anyway, the offer was placed around 0100. I accepted the offer at 1026. I purchased the label from pirateship at 1221. I had the shipping label printed and on the package by 1230. I dropped the item off at the drop box at 1330. I go about my day and later see that I have a new message from the buyer at 1659 that says, "Hey I didint order this on purpose it was bye accident. Ebay notified me to let you know it was placed bye accident. Can you please cancel this order before it gets sent to me and i have to return. Thanks!" Now I get things happen and am willing to work with them, but I feel uneasy about canceling the order with the item not in hand. It's marked as "Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item". Am I safe to cancel the order hoping the authenticators will see the cancelation and send the order back to me? Or do I let the process play out? Or am i being scammed or was there an attempt to scam me?Just in an odd spot where the item is dropped off but not scanned in yet. Thank you for reading. I appreciate your time and all answers.
