Hi thanks for this, I am aware of these facilities but they aren't ideal as they require too much manual work for upgrades and downgrades, also not good for UX - what i'm looking for is a happy medium which handles automation of upgrades and downgrades, creation of subscriptions and failure or cancellation via paypal without the headache but not a solution which requires merchant accounts and or gateways which costs more money. thanks

You say you want that, but you also say you don't want to pay for the services that automate it for you, and you also think the APIs are too hard to do it yourself. You have to choose.

This "too much work and bad UX" got me my first 300 paying subscribers and really involved almost no work.

Fair play, I know what you're trying to say but what I'm trying to work out is if there is a service which simplifies the paypal subscription handling and rather than be free, just charge per transaction like paypal rather than monthly which holds risk
