r/paypal on Reddit: Friends and family option missing
August 3, 2022 -
The friends and family option is missing when I try to send a specific person money. We do send money back and forth a few times a week. We live together, share bills and I use PayPal as a “bank”. All my money goes there. I went to send them money this morning and the option was gone. I was essentially forced to send it as a goods and services payment. I checked on other people who I’ve sent money to before and I’m able to send it to them as a friends and family payment. Can anyone explain what has happened? Have we reached some limit?

It means either you or they have a business account. Paypal just removed the "family and friends" option from all business accounts. The greedy scum gotta leech as much from us as they can. I also use Paypal for both business and banking activities. For example, I'll sell something to a customer. And then send my sister some of that money so she buy me something (using her PP card) while she's out in town. This has me pretty mad. Paypal has been highly convenient for me until now. I'm seriously thinking of alternatives to Paypal for the first time in two decades.

It’s too user friendly and secure. ... I totally agree as I got burnt some time ago after agreeing with the F&F option. ... F&F is fine when you know the buyer/seller. The reason for the big push for folks to send F&F (besides the scamming) is that PP now reports all G&S transactions to the IRS. Now you get to pay income tax on things you already payed sales tax on, when you resell it. PayPal ... More on 912bbs.org
