No option to send money as a personal payment to friends/family

Here is an image I found which shows the problem I am facing: http://s149.photobucket.com/user/ary_lusifer/media/paypal.jpg.html

 

I can only send money as a payment for goods/services. I'm from Singapore, so I don't think I have a US Paypal account. My Paypal account is currently unverified. What is the reason for the option to send as a personal payment to not be there, and is there a solution?

I was able to send personal payments to friends and family eatlier in the year, but noe that option is gone (I am in Japan -I checked with my bank about any regulation chqnges and they said that there should not have been. Is it a bug in the paypal site?

Exactly the same thing happened to me here in Greece. I used to have this option for a long time, used it about five times, now it's gone! I emailed Paypal and I got 3 generic unhelpful replies..

I have a student from Japan, Is it still not an option in Japan until now? She could not be able to see that kind of option too.

I am having this problem in Ireland. It wasn't a problem In the past - i have often sent money via friends and family option. I had difficulty the last time and now again. It finally worked last time and I think I must have tried transaction using a laptop instead of my mobile. Is this maybe the problem - option not available on mobile using full site? Any help greatly appreciated as the reply I got was less than helpful off topic suggestions!
