"Personal Payment" Button in Paypal?

Our website needs to facilitate a Paypal "personal payment" from one user to another. This is a gift (i.e. a birthday present), and not a payment for product/services, nor is it a charity donation.

Personal payments can be easily made from the Paypal control panel (crucially without a fee if not using a credit card). However, I cannot find a way to implement a simple html button that launches a personal payment instead of a commercial payment.

Is anyone aware of a solution, other than telling the user to log into Paypal and complete the payment (which is a clunky solution that we'd rather avoid!). I would like to prepopulate the amount and Paypal address that will be receiving the payment etc, exactly like the normal "Pay" button, but as a personal payment, not a commercial payment.

You can do this using Adaptive Payments, specifically the Pay API with the PAYMENTTYPE set to PERSONAL in your request.
