I have a subscription that I no longer need. The merchant had set me up to be billed monthly automatically until I cancel. How do I stop the monthly charge? I can't find a way to do that. When I click on DETAILS in the transaction, it does not say "recurring" and allow me to cancel it like the last one did that I cancelled.

Something to try:
Login to your PayPal Account.
- Click on "Profile".
- Click on "My Money".
- Look for: "My Preapproved Payments".
- You should see: "Manage the automatic payments, subscriptions, and installment plan payments I send to merchants".
- Click on "Update".
- Next, you will see all active and cancelled billing agreements/subscriptions listed on the screen.
- Click on the service-name for further action.
- You should see on next page terms of billing agreement/subscription, how much money you have authorized service provider to deduct from your account and few other details. Most important is link to Cancel agreement, in case if it is active.
- Note, when you click on Cancel, you will be prompted to confirm it once again. Click "Yes
