Is anyone else having the issue of the friends and family option missing?

Hi @DMsmith ,

 

It depends on the country of the recipient. Not every country has the option to send or receive friends / family payments.

 

PayPal accounts in the U.S. have the option to send and receive personal payments but the recipient's country might not have this option.

Yep, the entire "goods & services" screen didn't pop up. I've clicked everything I could think of & never found "friends and family" except the "overseas" portion. That is of no help whatsoever as my brother is not only NOT overseas but in the same state & county.
