How to Cancel a PayPal Payment

PayPal's reoccurring payments offer you the opportunity to set up a payment plan with a merchant. With reoccurring payments, PayPal automatically sends money to a merchant when a payment is due, so there's no need to remember to log in to your PayPal account and send the money yourself. If you wish to cut ties with the merchant after the next payment, you can cancel reoccurring payments at any time. You cannot cancel an instant payment.

Instructions

1. Sign in to PayPal. Navigate to the "Profile" screen by clicking "Profile" button. By default, your personal info will appear. Click "My Money" to view your financial details.

2. Click the blue "Update" link next to "My Preapproved Payments." A list will appear, with the merchants who you have agreed to automatically pay via your PayPal account. All merchants you've ever agreed to reoccurring payments with will appear. Click on the desired merchant.

3. Click the blue "Cancel" button next to "Status" at the top. Click "Yes" when a confirmation box appears. Once the payment is successfully canceled, you will see "Canceled on XX," where XX is the date.
