I use eBay payout, and the status of my sale is currently “funds available.” Payout will be initiated tomorrow, but I’m wondering if the buyer can still cancel.
I saw your original post before you modified it... the order of events is that eBay (via Adyen, their payment processor) will receive the buyer's payment, and once they have it, you will be notified that it's ready to ship. You do not wait for the funds to actually hit your bank before shipping, partly because that can be several days at the best of times; partly because if you're a new or infrequent seller, they may hold your funds anyway until they can verify that the buyer has his purchase and it's all good. Thus the point you're waiting for is the notification on your Sold items page that payment was received, and it's time to ship.
As for the buyer cancelling, the most he can do is request a cancel from you. That does not automatically claw back his payment. If you haven't shipped, then you can cancel with the reason of Buyer Requested and refund the payment right away. If you have already shipped, you are entitled to ask for the item to be returned first. He can mark it as Refused as soon as it arrives and return it unopened.
Edit: Actually I seem to have confused your post here with the other post of yours that was slightly earlier, but my answer would apply to both.
