I don't think they have that option, but I haven't looked in a couple years.

I generally try to stay away from PayPal, because they're not a bank. Their user agreement states that they're not liable or responsible for "lost" funds, and I've heard of people getting burned by that. If you use them, I would advise withdrawing often.

They burned me for somewhere around $300 when I sold some stuff on eBay. Allegedly, the account that I was paid from was "hacked", so they took money out of my account about a week after the transaction took place. I will never give that company another dime of direct or indirect income again in my life, be it from my personal or business life.

From my experience, there is no way to adjust a subscription up or down once it is initiated through Paypal.

Actually you can. See: https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-500-20080214-1/en_US/pd...

<snip>"You can let your subscribers change the name, number, regular terms, or currency of an existing subscription without canceling it and re-subscribing by creating a Modify Subscription button."</snip>

Paypal does support subscriptions. But yeah, it is pretty rudimentary.
