Hi patglennon,
When you first make a payment on facebook using PayPal, a billing agreement is set up between your facebook account and your PayPal account. As the billing agreement is set up with the first transaction any transactions after that are processed automatically.
When the billing agreement is set up it means that you authorise facebook to take any funds requested from facebook using your PayPal account. When you send a payment facebook request the funds directly from PayPal so there is no need for you to log in to your PayPal account.
I hope this helps answer your query.

Hi miss80,
May I suggest that you cancel the pre-approved payment agreement that you have set up on your PayPal account.
Here’s how to cancel a subscription or recurring payment:
- Go to www.paypal.co.uk and log in to your account.
- Click ‘Profile.’
- Click ‘My preapproved payments’ under ‘Financial Information.’ (Don’t see this step? Follow the alternative set of instructions below.)
- Select the merchant whose agreement you want to cancel and click ‘Cancel.’
- Click ‘Cancel Profile’ to confirm your request
Once this has been cancelled no more payments can be taken out unless you set up the agreement again.
I hope this helps
Paula
