Re: Strange payment being requested through Paypal.
A 1-dollar charge is normally a temporary/test charge that is typical for a company to check to see if your bank/credit card (or in this case Paypal) account is a valid one. That dollar charge will then disappear, and your account will be charged the amount for a subscription.
Did you recently sign up for a subscription? If so, then that is likely the charge and that charge will disappear and the subscription charge will occur after a day or so.
If you did not sign up for a subscription or make a recent purchase, then it is possible that a scammer/hacker is testing your account to see if they can use your banking/account information and make a charge or charges. If that is the case, I would suggest contacting PayPal/bank/credit card company and letting them know.
