Why is it not an option showing to switch from goods and services to friends and family? I'm not **bleep**ing buying anything. This is annoying and doesn't make sense.

The option to select payment type on the app is after entering the amount, choosing the currency, add an (optional) note, and tapping Next. A ”Review” pop up window will appear and right under the payment method is the option to select payment type. If you don’t see the option, perhaps PayPal removed friends and family feature from your account due to abuse/misuse. Or uninstall and reinstall app.
Or try sending money via PayPal website:
Go to Send and Request.
The option to select payment type is after you enter recipient info and amount.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
