Why does my account say i am a merchant when my account is personal and not business, and why cant I choose family and friends when sending money. It automatically chooses goods and services and theres no option to change that.

This just started happening all of a sudden. I used to be able to select what type of transaction I want, but now I can't. I guess I'll have to switch to venmo
