Automatically Send Money Every Month

So my mom's about to come into a little bit of money, but she's worried that she'll spend it all immediately. As a responsible and caring son, I'm going to help her budget it, and I thought I'd give her some kind of allowance every month. I would make her a PayPal account and transfer money from mine to hers. Is there any way I can have this transfer go through automatically, without setting up some kind of crazy business account?

I have this same question.  I need to send money to my girlfriend's family and would like it to occur automatically as I'm very forgetful.

Did you ever find out how to set that up?  I have a similar situation where I need to send monthly payments to a family member.

Hello everyone!

I can see that you are all interested in reoccurring payments from your account to another account!

In order to process reoccurring payments, the recipient of the payments would need to have a premier or business account and set up a subscription button to automatically have payments made in regular intervals.

I will be more than happy to recommend your idea of having a way to set up reoccurring payments from the senders account.  Thank you for your participation on the PayPal Community Forums!

I would also like to see something set up in the sender's account to send money automatically each month. This would be a great feeature for members who need to send money to another paypal account with out having a business or premier account for sending small amounts of money at regular intervals. Please work on this!
