Last week, I cancelled an account with an online merchant, and they kindly told me that I needed to cancel my Paypal subscription. After a little reading in Paypal's help pages, I found what I was looking for and more.
I did not realize that I had several companies set up under "My preapproved payments", a list that includes subscriptions, automatically billed payments, and installment plan payments. On top of the subscription I needed to cancel, I found Big Fish Games, which I assume was set up when I bought one game from them, Sears Holding Company, and a few other companies. I immediately cancelled everything that I didn't actively want, and decided that I would check my preapproved payments lists more regularly.
If you're wondering what you've authorized as a "preapproved" payment, you can follow these instructions.
1. Log into Paypal.
2. Look in the bar under the tab My Account, hover your mouse over Profile, and click on My Money.
