Title: Canceling $5 per month donations
Post by: Hinzelmann on August 31, 2009, 12:26:58 AM

Is it possible to cancel the $5 per month donations via paypal if I can't keep up with it? I'm too young to get an actual job, so I have to earn money in other ways (which come and go). Love Podcastle/Escape Pod/Pseudopod. Thanks!

If you want to cancel a subscription:
1.  Log in  to your PayPal account.
2.  Click History at the top of the page.
3.  Find the subscription in your History.
4.  Click the Details link for the subscription.
5.  Click the Cancel Subscription button.

that's the instructions I get when I get emails telling me I just made an auto payment... however you ACTUALLY need to insert another step between 4 and 5
so...
4.5 click the "in reference to [insert long alphanumeric thing here] link, and at the bottom of THAT page it'll have the cancel subscription button.

[and i modded the title for future questioning souls]

Of course, we don't really condone this type of activity.

We also prefer that listeners don't die of hunger. Hurts the sub numbers when they go to advertisers.

Oh come on,  Do you know how long it takes a person to starve to death?  They can tough it out.

Sheesh, when I say "young" I mean "14". I won't starve to death, but I usually have to earn some money if I want to donate to/buy something.

Hinzelmann,

This was just an example of the mods getting silly for no particular reason.  You'll get used to it.
