Buyer Beware: BPL's PayPal Default is "Automatic Annual Renewal"

[Greg Mihalik]

I re-subscribed through PayPal and discovered the BPL’s Profile creates a “Annual Automatic Payment” profile –

There is no “Checkbox” that I missed. It just happens per BPL’s invoice profile.

And it’s up to you to Change or Cancel that “Feature”.

I emailed BPL and got this –

Hi Greg,

That is the only option when you pay but not to worry; I will walk to you through instructions to prevent recurring payments once you subscribe!

Warm Regards,

Regan

“Opt-Out” only works if you know that’s what you have to do.

Buyer Beware.

Tricksy BPL, tricksy.  There should be full, upfront disclosure of such automatic set ups.
