I've been using the F&F option to pay business invoices for years because it's much cheaper than sending a bank wire. Today I went to pay an invoice and noticed there was no upfront $5 fee taken out. I thought "Hmmm, cool" but minutes later my sales rep in China sent me an email saying their payment was reduced by several hundred dollars and to send the rest.
Did Paypal just get rid of friends and family?

Paypal don't allow friends / family payments to be used for paying for goods / services etc.
That option should only be used to send mates or family members 'gift' payments.
If you abuse the f.f. option then paypal have been known to remove it and sometimes limit your paypal account.
