ALMOST ALWAYS this means one thing (and you will soon find it's not Paypal's evil doing). Any time you either:
1) download some kind of app from google play/amazon apps/microsoft app store, and you have your payment account tied up to your Paypal account, that mean ole new game you've been playing got you all addicted to it and suddenly... Whaaat? Trial offer? Must pay $____ dollars to "unlock" the rest?! - Then, against our better judgment, cause the game is so good, you hit OK... and, it seems that is that, at least you probably forgot about it anyway.... Yet sadly it is not. That in-app-purchasing-**bleep**-trap DID charge your account, in Paypal's name.
2) OR whenever this all-to-familiar-senerio occurs: you sign up for those "risk free trial memberships" on some website, that promises you will not owe them a dime for full access to their services - just as long as you remember to cancel your trial membership before the 14th day (but not before the 3rd day, of course)... You can do this by simply going to the FAQ portion of their site, then weed through several "frequently asked questions" (that never seem to be about cancelling your account), when you FINALLY come across cancellation instructions: You just need to go tto the website they have listed below, conveiniantly NOT made into a hyperlink; then call their membership cancellation 1-800 number & wait for the next available representative... But make sure you do all this during their regular business hours from 9 am - 5 pm Monday thru Thursday! Because if you fail to cancel your "free trial membership" before the previously stated trial period ends; then they will charge you the price of a full month's subscription, each month, until you DO cancel. AND if you decided to sign up with your Paypal account instead of entering your debit/credit card info (because, you weren't actually gonna have to pay anything for a free trial anyway, right?); weeeeell... unfortunately, no. Those tricky, surprisingly-unavailable, Customer Service Reps succeeded in swindling your $$ from you; though they did so while also assuring that Paypal's name shows up for all the dirty work.
Now, obviously not everyone's situation falls under one of those 2 possibilities... But in all of my personal experiance, it does.
MORAL OF THE STORY?: Beware of the falsely claimed: Free Trial... and WATCH OUT for hidden in-app purchasing/charges.
