Note that PayPal is owned by eBay. Expect nothing from PayPal that
you would not expect from eBay.

Paying with a credit card, however, gives you certain legal
protections in the US, regardless of what PayPal/eBay thinks their
policies are.


Guess again...did you know that many (most?) credit card issuers will not
reverse a charge when you've cancelled a service that does a recurring
charge to your account. I had that problem a couple of times where I'd
cancelled (in accordance with terms of agreement) and continued to get
charged, could not get it reversed or stopped by either the company
presenting the charge or the credit card issuer until I got a State
Attorney General involved. Don't be too trusting of credit cards and
credit card companies.



Choose your companies carefully. The only card I have is a USAA card, and
the one time I had an experience identical to those you describe here, I
wrote them a letter and they stopped payment immediately.
