Do you mean a subscription?
Go to Account Overview > History > More Filters drop down menu > Select Subscriptions and Agreements > Recurring Payments > My Profiles > Enter subscription start date > Show > View the details of a specific ‘Subscription Creation’ using Details > Cancel to cancel subscription.

Hi mickwhitehill,
Welcome to the community forum.
This is how you can cancel a recurring payment on your account http://ow.ly/Gaebt . Once you cancel it there the seller won't be able to take another amount without you visiting their website and authorising it.
I hope you find this useful.

If you cancel a company/make them inactive, can they still take money from your account if they unrightfully charge you with a phony payment on a site you don't use and have never used?

Mmm, I'm pretty sure they meant what they said, preapproved payments. I agreed to a preapproved payment (paypal login page said: "Your preapproved payment summary") and I can't find it for the life of me to cancel it. It's not under subscriptions as you described.

I followed kernowlass' instructions to cancel a yearly membership fee but now when I look under the subscription details it still says that the total cycles are indefinite, remaining cycles are indefinite and the cycle frequency is yearly. Have I really cancelled it? I don't want to be surprised next year when it comes out of my account.
