There is no buyer protection if you send via the friends / family route so you can't raise a paypal dispute.
All you can do is email the person and hope that they refund the payment but you can't force them to do so.
That is why just like when you have to take care sending payments to another bank account making sure you enter the account number correctly you also have to be careful entering a paypal account email address when sending funds.

Just one last thought but it may not work.
If you funded your paypal payment via a CARD then contact your card issuer and see if they will help you.
They may say no as it was not a payment for goods but its worth asking.
