I am a PayPal Pro business customer and also have a personal account. I would very much like to be able to send recurring payments to another individual with a personal (non-business) PayPal account. I know this is very quick and easy to do manually, but I sometimes forget to do it on the right day, or maybe I'm busy that day, or traveling without internet access, etc. I have seen discussions going back 7 years + requesting this feature and just thought I'd add my request as well. NOTE TO PAYPAL: I would be willing to pay a reasonable fee for this convenience. Thanks for considering!
PS: If this is already possible, I would be very grateful if someone would clue me in. I have been searching for the last 30 minutes trying to figure it out. i thought surely I was missing it somehow, but I'm stumped.

Yes, please, I would like to have this feature as well. As I understand it (and correct me if I'm wrong), the receiver can enable recurring payments as if they are a merchant, with a fee, but the sender can't just initiate recurring payments on their own for a personal transaction. It sure would be convenient if I could do that as a personal sender, preferably without a fee.
