Getting buyers to use Goods and Services

I am cleaning out closets and selling on a facebook group.  I don't want to upgrade to a business account.  I need to be able to get the buyers shipping address and even when I request that Goods and Services be used when making their payment some still use Friends and Family.  Then I have to try and get back in touch to get the shipping address, I have to stand in line to pay postage at the post office and I pay a higher postage rate.  I thought I saw a heading of Premier accounts but can't find it again.  Is there a way to not even offer Friends and Family or turn it on and off?

You shouldn't accept friends / family as you would have no seller protection and risk an account limitation but not sure how you can stop a buyer voluntarily paying you that way UNLESS you make it clear on the item that you are selling?

 

Premier accounts no longer exist and won't stop buyers using the f/f option anyway unfortunately.
