Hello,
I am trying to send $125 to a friend When I put their email in and then on the next screen I enter the amount, I do not have the option to Change "Paying for an item or service." All I have is a "Gift" icon. I am trying to avoid paying fees by sending to friends and family. Thank you

Hi I'm from Papua New Guinea But however when I want to send $50 as friends and family I cannot change the drop down menu to friends and family it's only for payment of goods and services.

Sadly the friends/family option is not available in every country.
Have you checked out xoom to see if its a better option in your country?
