Can a resident of the British Virgin Islands have a personal account for sending moneu to friends and family? Everytime my friend sends money, it lists as goods and service and we pay a fee.

They can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
They can only link a visa credit card.

Also the option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in the B.V.I
They can only send payments for purchases funded by their (confirmed) credit card.

However the f/f option is equally not available to them.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.
