Can You Cancel a Subscription on PayPal
Often, yes: PayPal lets you manage some automatic payments from your account settings. Canceling a PayPal payment agreement may stop future PayPal charges, but it may not cancel the service itself or refund past payments.

Common questions
Will this get me a refund?+
Not automatically. Ask the merchant about refunds and check PayPal's dispute process if you believe a charge was improper.
