PayPal Friends & Family. Any recourse?

I joined a Facebook memorabilia group that allows you to post items for sale. I did sell an item to a guy, was paid with PayPal F&F, or gift. Hard to tell which, but there was no fee. I shipped the item to another person with an APO address. Seems to be red flags here, but I was under the understanding that if I send PPFF that I can't dispute it later, meaning if I receive PPFF, neither can he. Is the money I got good? Interested in your advice. He has paid for another item, and is looking for the same shipping address
Thanks

Any PP funds that were covered say by a credit or sometimes a debit card can be disputed from that end of a transaction so PP gift is not 100% guaranteed from the get go. I have heard examples of people even somehow opening claims against gift payments from their account through PP but this seems to be a little harder to get PP to side with the sender. Basically saying their account was hacked or some other BS.
I'm pretty sure you're safe on your side as the seller. I think any dispute on a f&f transaction would get taken care of on the PayPal side, although I don't think a buyer has much recourse with that type of transaction, so I'm guessing that's incredibly rare.
