<i>This is a double edged sword. You'd better be prepared to set up a refund system if you use an 'automatic' charging system. Also if you get a lot of chargbacks on your PayPal account they will ban your account just like a bank does.</i>

Hmmm. I'm not seeing the issue. I currently do this on my site, only it's not incorporated in the same way as this hack is. If someone donates a prescribed monthly amount, they are automatically assigned to a new additional user group. If they donate to the annual version, they are also assigned to a new and different user group. Immediately, they get the benefits associated with those user groups. It's very much understood this is a 'donation' (it's a rescue/animal welfare site) and they can cancel their subscription at any time. Are you saying that paypal has an issue if someone cancels a subscription? It happens once in a while, but it's not a big deal--at least it doesn't seem like it. I've had only one instance of sending back someone's money after a cancellation, and that was more my issue. I don't see how paypal would care.

I'm not even sure what a chargeback transaction looks like on paypal and don't quite get why I would need to set up a refund system.

Maybe this is in part why I can't install this until I can give the members the immediate benefit of additional features--even though many claim not to care. Or maybe I'm just not understanding this thoroughly?
