With PayPal, I know there is a way to create buttons for websites to set up recurring payments... but I would like to set up a recurring payment for myself to pay for a living expense automatically on the 20th of every month. Is this possible?
Can you tell us exactly what do you want to know Recurrning payment from your account to whom ?? DON.
Well, actually you can do so if you know the Paypal ID for which you are sending money to every month. Simply google "create paypal subscription url" (sorry that it violates TOS here if I post the link here) and you can generate such a subscription link with that specified Paypal ID. You then just sign up and you will pay every month. PM me if you want the website for generating such subscription link.
Nooo... I want to automatically pay $x from my PayPal account to someone else's PayPal account every month. Not through a website or any system, just automatic payment.
Ok then tell him/her to go to his/her paypal account and do the following. Go to Merchant tools - > Select Subscriptions & Recurring Payments option - > Fill your require details there - > Check No option for Button encryption at the end - > On next page copy paste from Link for Emails and send to you. Thats all. DON.
