>Payment gateways (paypal, apple, google), in general, do NOT let you cancel individual services and are linked to your CC. Paypal absolutely lets you stop recurring payments unilaterally on their side. I use Paypal for subscriptions wherever it's offered precisely for this reason. https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-is-an-automati... |

I think it maybe only shows companies you had recent transactions with.
In 2023, I had a fraudulent $0.99 Paypal Automatic Payment for "Domain Name Forwarding - Renewal" from a company (DomainsPricedRight/OwnMyDomain aka GoDaddy) that I last did business with in 2005. Yes, 18 years prior.
I was able to 'deactivate' the 'subscription' on the Paypal site after I noticed the charge but I don't think automatic payments existed on Paypal in 2005 and I'd certainly never signed up for it.
The original 2005 business I did was a one time domain purchase that was transferred to another registrar within a year.
It was real fun to also see on Paypal that I could have been fraudulently charged up to $10,000.
It's kind of scary to think that any company I've done a Paypal transaction with could maybe do the same thing (or any of the companies that eventually acquire their merchant accounts...)
