Direct Debits get removed

Here's a trivia fact you may or may not know - if a direct debit is not used for an entire year then the bank will usually cancel it.

This is to prevent companies from suddenly taking money from people who set up a direct debit years ago and have forgotten about it.

I got an email from eBay yesterday informing me that the direct debit I setup to allow them to take sellers fees (for the one item I listed). Ironically I have an item I need to list in a few weeks. Oh well.
