Paypal Adaptive Payments processing Personal payments

Paypal Adaptive Payments processing Personal payments

My application processes payments using the Adaptive Payments Pay API, it
is just the API called, it is not a sender or receiver of the funds. The
payment's are set as personal payments as they are gifts. Everything works
fine in sandbox, the problem is when switching to live, I get API
credentials from my business account and set them in my app for the live
site, but now I get an error "The caller's credential doesn't have
permission for the payment type PERSONAL"
I guess this is because my business account is the API caller, but I don't
see how that should stop me from processing personal payments when the
receiver is a personal account (as is sender). Anyway around this?
Or do I have to use a personal account to process payments?
