How to Disable PayPal Preapproved Payments and Stop Automatic Charges

Following the Black Friday sales, many users may have used PayPal to purchase hosting, domains, and other products. Most foreign merchants use PayPal for payment and obtain authorization for automatic payments. When your product is about to expire, the merchant will automatically deduct the fee from your PayPal account. If you do not wish for automatic deductions from your account balance, you need to configure additional settings.

First, log in to PayPal, navigate to User Information > Financial Information. On the right side, click on My Preapproved Payments, then click the Update button. This will display the merchants you have authorized. If the status is Inactive, the merchant has not obtained authorization; if it is Active, the merchant has obtained automatic payment permissions. You need to disable this.

Click on the merchant's name, and finally click the Cancel button to stop the automatic payment. Detailed screenshots are provided below.
