    I've searched the posts on cancellation and I still have a question regardng cancellation of a paypal subscription from member.php.

    In the sandbox, when I use the cancel button on the member.php page, it seesm to attempt to pass the payee (business) address to paypal.

    https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_subscr-find&alias=mybizpayee@mybiz.com

    Could someone explain the steps that are supposed to happen when a user clicks 'cancel' in this scenario? I thought it must pass their ID to paypal so they can log in and the sub can be cancelled...

    Thanks -- Richard. (3.1.7PRO)

    New information...

    Looks like my biz address was cached -- if I do this from a different machine, then it simply takes me to the paypal login page, but it doesn't pass my paypal credentials.

    If I'm user Fred, with paypal adress fred@derf.com, shouldn't it pass fred@derf.com to paypal for logging in to cancel the sub? Or does amember not know my paypal (payer) email address?

    Thanks...

    Richard,
    This is not necessary to pass email address because user anyway have to login into account.
