- scrapcode 6y agoAmen to this. It's a pain as a seller, but it works out for them because I use PayPal whenever possible on a subscription requirement solely because of this. Why is this so hard?
- inetknght 6y agoThat is until PayPal withholds funds paid to you and cancels your account for arbitrary reasons.
- strombofulous 6y agoThis is only a problem as a seller, if you only use it to buy things then - You are the customer (paypal makes money from transaction fees, and customers almost always have the option to not use paypal) - Typically you don't store money in your account, so you would at most lose the ability to pay with paypal
- TristanBall 6y agoDo this with Teamviewer, without formally terminating the account, and they'll chase you for it, including passing your case on to a legal firm ( at least, here in Australia they did ) I sent a fairly polite letter back explaining id long since stopped using the product, and all they were doing now was destroying any residual good will they had. I never heard anything back.
- sundvor 6y agoWow. The last of a dying breed then! If I ever see them come up as an option I'll do well to remember this. Thanks!
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoThe only problem is that some companies don't offer Paypal as a payment option.
- sundvor 6y agoTrue. Then there's usually someone else that does.
- ehsankia 6y agoHah, this is exactly how I ended up "unsubscribing" from the NYT. I first migrated my subscription from my credit card to my paypal, then used Paypal to block the payment. They then spent the next week sending me half a dozen emails begging me to re-enable payment, which I marked all as spam in Gmail.
