Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

I recently listed something on eBay and this morning I got a notification saying that it had sold. I then received an email that looked legit (at the time) and looked like an email from eBay. In the email there was a message saying:

"Hi Mate, Glad I won your item. I'm currently in New Zealand at the moment. Please email me at [email protected] confirming the exact condition of the item. I will be going for an appointment now but will be able to access my email from my iPhone, so email me at [email protected] using the eBay Item Number as the subject. Make sure you email me with your email address here is mine as stated earlier [email protected]"

I wasn't thinking properly and didn't even realise that it could be a scam and I emailed the address from the email then I found out that this is a scam email.
Will anything happen because of this? What should I do?
Please help
