PayPal has a monopoly on trusted on-line payment systems like Microsoft does on operating systems and similarly there are quirks they don't have a lot of incentive to fix. One is that if your credit card expires or if you change or remove the primary or backup payment mechanism PayPal cancels all of your subscriptions. Until we can fix it, Tribe automatically updates subscription status based on PayPal's reports, including their cancellation reports. This means that if there is a change in status of your PayPal account you could be unsubscribed and lose your star. Please contact us and we will manually reinstate your subscription status for the remainder of your term. You should also notify PayPal in writing to customercare@paypal.com and let them know. Ask them to forward the feedback to their development group. We hope they eventually will address the problem on their side.
