Last year I ordered a product for $77 and the subscription was for a year. Well, the person who has the product just took a $77 eCheck from me that I did not authorize. I couldn't see what to do on paypal so I called my bank's 800 number and got a stop payment on it and also to investigate the company as to why they charged my paypal again this year.
Paypal is so confusing I can't figure anything out... I guess I got it taken care of by calling my bank.
Thoughts?

It's not a magazine. It is a spinner that you download into your computer. I ordered it in 2011 at tbis time when I was working on a project requiring spinning. I used it for about a month and never reordered. I had no idea that he could just go in and take money out of my account.

I've never seen a number. Is there a special place to find it? I'll check it out as soon as I get off this handheld and get on the laptop.

Subscriptions like that are very often automatic recurring payments. I have had the same thing happen to me once. I had to:
1) Go to PayPal and cancel the recurring subscription
2) Go to the vendor's site and ask for a refund for the year's subscription which I didn't want.
When the first payment was taken, the PayPal screen will have said that it was setting up a regular subscription payment. I have to say that I either didn't read closely enough or I did read it and then forgot about cancelling the subscription.

The bank said they would do a stop payment but didn't guarantee it would go through. I emailed the owner and also talked to paypal and the lady said I did the right thing to contact the seller/owner or whatever you call him. She said since I asked for my money back and that I did not request to be sold the product I should get my money refunded.

I don't see anything about how to cancel subscriptions. I don't understand anything about where to look. I emailed him asking for my money back that I don't want his product.

Yes you did the right thing, you can email paypay but you can call them as well and ask for the disputes department.

I had a recurring subscription on Paypal, and it was just a matter of finding the correct settings to turn it off. You might need to do this so that you don't get charged again next year. Paypal customer service will probably help if nobody here has the exact answer.

I haven't been able to find the right place on paypal to get any answers. As for how to change settings I have no clue. All I know is I didn't order it and reported it to my bank. I also wrote to the owner. Not sure that will do any good.
