If you have monthly subscriptions and memberships, you can spare yourself the hassle of overlooking paying for it when you apply for an automatic payment agreement. Each month, your bank or payment service will automatically deduct your scheduled monthly fees, so you do not have to worry about it.
PayPal offers automatic payments, making it easier for you to authorize and pay your bills as well as manage subscription for supported services fees each month. Recurring payments prevent late settlements and minimize the effort on your part in managing all your monthly bills. However, if you need to cancel an automatic recurring payment agreement you have set up on your PayPal for business or personal account, you can always do so easily.
One of the reasons people remove their reapproved recurring payments on their Paypal accounts is when they no longer need to continue the service and cancel their subscription. To stop payments and avoid continuously paying for a canceled membership, you also must stop the automatic payment. In some cases, users may have insufficient funds in their PayPal account. If you change your account information or payment details, you also need to cancel the automatic and recurrent payment billing agreements.
