Recently I was not sure about one of the payments that I had made whether it was a one time payment or a subscription. I tried to look around at my account site but I could not find anything about any subscription. However, in order to be sure and to avoid my account to be charged unnecessarily, I had decided to contact PayPal. As usual the respond from PayPal was prompt and I would like to share the reply from PayPal with all of you. -------------------------- Hello,my name is Season, I will be happy to assist you with your question regarding your PayPal account. As you mentioned, you would like to clarify whether it is a one time payment or a subscription, right? By checking your PayPal account, the transaction of 9M4713856G196922V was completed on May 6, 2007. It is a one time payment. There is no subscription in your PayPal account currently.
