How to Cancel Automatically Recurring Charges in PayPal?

Sometimes in PayPal, you get charged with automatic recurring payments. These charges are the result of websites subscribing you to automatically billed payments. You might have subscribed to such subscriptions by mistake. Sometimes, you ignore these automatic billing methods while paying for a certain thing using PayPal. For example Annual domain registration, membership or hosting fees can be charged automatically by a merchant if you paid using PayPal.

You do not want these recurring payments to deduct a periodic payment from your PayPal account. If you want to put a stop to such payments, then there is a way. You might have options in your merchant’s website to disable such payments. But it is better if your revoke authorized pre-approved payments in PayPal.
