Just a warning to others to perhaps check any direct debits set up in error to PayPal following a SimSig purchase. In April this year I purchased a sim for £32.50 and paid as usual through PayPal with no issues, today on checking my direct debits I found one for the same amount to PayPal that had been set up at the time of the SimSig purchase and was to be paid every other month. On checking my PayPal account there was no mention of any such transaction being set up nor any bi monthly payment to SimSig! Not saying at all that this was any fault of those running SimSig indeed it could have been an error on my part but I certainly don't recall setting it up so not sure what has gone on but it might be worth people checking their direct debits to ensure one has not been set up in error.

If you paid via a bank account on PayPal (as opposed to a credit/debit card), PayPal has to create a direct debit to request the money from your bank. The direct debit only gets used when you pay for something and is not a subscription/monthly debit.

Cheers, not something I've seen before after previous purchases.
