Thanks for your reply.   It would have helped if the eBay agent had told me that, she made it sound as though it was just because I'd deleted it.   It's good that the PayPal option will still show when I next buy anything so really nothing's changed. ... View more

If you cancelled it before the next payment date then PayPal shouldn't have sent any more payments after that date. I've cancelled a recurring payment in the evening before the day the next payment was due & the payment wasn't sent so from my experience it works. ... View more

As soon as you hit the 'cancel profile' button you should get the message shown below.   "This profile has been cancelled and cannot be reactivated. No more recurring payments will be made."   Provided you get this message then no more recurring payments will be made to that merchant.  I suppose if you cancel on or near to the day a payment is due it might account for the 'unclaimed status' message you got. ...

Hi, 1: In your account history click on the 'details' of the payment you want to stop. 2: That takes you to the 'Transaction Details' page. 3: At the side of 'Recurring Payment Sent' click on 'View Details'. 4: That will take you to 'Recurring Payments details'. 5: You should now have the cancel/ view history near the top left-hand side of the page. Hope this helps. ... View more
