Ok, this is what happened. I have a domain registered at Godaddy that I don't use any more. It's been lying unused for a year. This domain was set to expired today 6 Jan. Unknown to me, the domain was set to auto-renew. I thought I had turned that thing off, but seems like I didn't. So anyway, I received a mail saying that $10 was paid off for renewing the domain. WTF. I don't understand how godaddy can take money from my paypal account at will, and paypal never consults before approving the transaction. I know it's a petty amount, but's not right. I want to know if I open a dispute is there any chance paypal will return the money.
Unlikely, GoDaddy probably has a tie up with PayPal for payment purposes and with you not turning off the auto-renew option, it means an implied (or explicit?) assent to having the money withdrawn directly from your account. Read the terms of service and trawl Google.
I don't think godaddy will issue a refund if I ask them. I think that domain was destined to lie unused another year.
Paypal don't handle situations where the goods is virtual, at the same time then it is your faulth that the domain was set to auto-renewal, if you can't proove that you set it to not-renew and GoDaddy have a glitch in their system, then you are help-less.
Call Godaddy and at least try to get a refund. I remember I had the same dilemma and I think they give you like 3 days to cancel or change your mind etc.
your payment was set as a subscription in while u opted domain at the first time with godaddy so no change of refund....
ask godaddy support i saw few times in such stuation people got refunds. also u can disable the access to godaddy or just set 3$ limit with them
goto paypal account see that transaction and you can find one link View Billing Agreement Details there u can edit the limits access. just set 3$ or simply you can disable the access
Better way is go to profile and looking for "pay list", then looking for godaddy and deactivate it. You will not have to pay for it again.
why ? if you set autorenew and give access godaddy to your paypal account its obvious they try to renew. i have set 3$ limit/month and its working for me i only increase limit if i want to renew because i only rarely reg .infos in godaddy so no question of renewal
