I recently made a payment to a Crowdfunding page and then received an e-mail telling me I had signed up for pre-approved payments plan to Crowdfunder Ltd with PayPal.
I have no idea what this means and despite advising in the same e-mail that I can find details on my Account page, I cannot find anything about it at all.
Can anyone help as it appears to be something that continues paying the same amount to the same cause on a regular basis. For instance a further payment was made to the same cause yesterday, without my knowledge or permission.
I tried contacting PayPal but had no success and I am now waiting for a response to an e-mnail query.
Thank you for any help and advice you can offer

Thank you for your help with this 🙂
I followed your very clear instructions (Thank you!) only to find that the payment I want to stop isn't actually listed!
So why has the money been taken and paid to my friends?
I really don't want to continue to make a regular payment to the Crowdfunding page for this friend but there doesn't seem to be any way of stopping it 😞
Feeling confused and concerned now....

Hi,
Most likely, at first you did not atually make a payment, only a pledge (preapproved payment) to pay at the close date of the crwodfunding campaign. So, that was not a payment. Then, when the campaign successfully closed, the pledge turned into a payment.
Hope that is accurate and it helps!
