https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Sending-money-Archive/recurring-payment-skipped/td-p/2832

i get alot of these skipped payment and i know the customers card is good.

i saw a reply : “get more information from the PayPal support rep.”

paypal is useless, they dont know anything. i have given them about 30 such sub ID’s to look at and in each case the just say it was the banks fault – which i don’t believe

Thank you for your inquiry.

s2Member considers skipped payments to be the same as a failed payment. However, as long as PayPal considers the subscription active, s2Member will not demote/delete a User.

This error is something that we cannot really help with, I’d recommend trying again with PayPal to resolve this issue. Perhaps there is a step that you can take with them to stop skipped payments from happening. Fraud filters with credit cards may be picking up on something that you have/don’t have with your PayPal account.
