PayPal Preapproved Payments
I was using the 123 Flash Chat service and paying for it with a PayPal preapproved payment. I needed to cancel the service, but the chat service provider had no instructions on their web site explaining how to cancel service. I contacted 123 Flash Chat several times via email and their online ticket system to request instructions for canceling the service. I received no response other than the automated response generated by their help desk ticket system. Then I thought that there must be a way to stop payment or block payments via PayPal for a service that I no longer wanted to allow access to my PayPal account. Turns out I was right. PayPal lists a link to “My Preapproved Accounts” under the “Financial Information” section of My Account/Profile. This area of PayPal allowed a user to manage payments that they automatically send to merchants. With this feature of PayPal I was able to cancel the automatic withdrawal that I been allowing for TopCMM Software to pay for the 123 Flash Chat service for nearly three years. This a great feature and a money saver for PayPal users.
