I don't believe this is true anymore. There's an article (here https://lowendbox.com/blog/bye-bye-paypal-friends-and-family-payments-to-business-accounts/) saying PayPal did away with the Friends and Family option on July 28, 2022. I just sent someone money and can confirm this. It was to a friend and her email address was tied to a personal account, NOT a business account, and they charged her a fee for receiving the money, soo... if there's a way around this, that would be great? Maybe in the "Reason for sending money" I should have typed "for a friend" or something to trigger keywords? The article doesn't explain how to send without fees. Would be great info to find out Thanks!
