Why am I sometimes blocked from sending money to individuals?

Unfortunately, there is no error code nor do I receive a true "error message".  However, any time I try to send an individual money [not purchasing or paying for a service] more than 3 or 4 times, every future attempt is blocked by PayPal.  The orange-font message is simply [paraphrased] "PayPal is unable to send this payment as this time.  Please try again later or contact customer service."

 

My PayPal account has a legit checking account associated with it as well as a CC for back up payment.  The address is confirmed too.  So, all of the most commonly cited hindrances do not seem to apply in this case.  Yet, I simply cannot send repeated payments to people.

 

Why do I ask?  I have a friend in college who I am trying to support as much as I can.  It is super easy and, hopefully, secure to transfer these funds to her via PayPal.

 

Thanks in advance for answers or insight.
