This is another reason why you should always check your email.

I have to get into the habit of checking my email daily. I usually check it weekly and sometimes have gone two weeks without checking it. I get an email from paypal about something being withdrawn from my bank account. I immediately went to paypal to dispute it. Yes it was legitimate but the company did not inform me of the pending withdrawal. It is a yearly subscription that automatically renews and I had forgotten all about it. I was not given any notice and so I have disputed it. I could not find how to get to any automatic withdrawal subscription through paypal so I disputed it and required an immediate refund. I also requested they cancel my recurring payments. I shot the company in question an email as well alerting them to the actions I had taken and requesting they assist paypal immediately. I expressed my irritation that I was not given notice that this would occur. I suggested they alert their customers of pending renewals and also expressed my intentions of canceling their paid services. Paypal has since canceled recurring payments but has not taken action to refund the money yet. It hasn't withdrawn from my bank account and their is no pending status in my bank. I think I have caught it in time. However, when I tried to call paypal directly to inquire about this there was no one I could speak to. This irks me a bit as well but as it was after hours maybe it was an automated service. Anyway, my advice to everyone is to check your email and also get on top of things like this instantly!
