quick paypal question

Sold an item for $50 and received exactly $50 from paypal.
There were no fees taken out -- did he send it as a gift?
If not, would paypal have taken fees out?
The screen says "payment from" and not "gift from"

<< <i>May have sent as "Money Owed" >>
Well, the main reason I ask is that this is an item going to Canada to someone I do not know. In the case that it gets lost by the post office, I would like to know if money owed or gift will qualify for a claim on his end.
<< <i>Well it sounds like he didn't pay you via Paypal in a way that directly links it to the eBay auction. This raises a lot of questions. Is the buyer an established eBayer? What does his feedback left and received look like? >>
Not an eBay transaction.
As of November 1, 2010, ALL PayPal payments for merchandise - made
on ANY venue - are subject to PP "Purchase Protection."
SNAD and INR claims are BOTH covered under the plan.
BST and other off-EBAY websites are included in the scheme.
Sending a "request for money" avoids the scheme. "Personal Payments"
are NOT covered; neither are "gifts."
