Your friends payment would be on hold anyway even if you had a personal account as the option to receive gift/personal payments is not available in your country.

So payments would always show as goods/services whether you had a personal or business account as you can sell on either type of account.

However if you still want to downgrade then.........

 There is no automatic way to downgrade a business account to a personal account, you have to contact customer services and they will do that for you.

Click help / contact bottom left of Paypal pages for options available for your country.

Or have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?
You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages.
It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPal and @AskPayPal for Twitter.
OR
You could just close your business account (removing all subscriptions / financial info etc first) and open a personal one.
