PayPal will automatically update the billing date to account for short months. E.g. if the recurring profile was setup on 10/31 the next billing date would be 12/1 (because November only has 30 days). http://www.pdncommunity.com/pdn/board/message?board.id=ipn&message.id=13486&query.id=2420460#M13486 ah, just found the answer myself.

Question - if the billing start date for a PayPal recurring profile is the 31st of the month, does PayPal bill the profile properly for short months like February?

I've been wrestling with adding recurring payments to the ActiveMerchant gem and actually got it to work for creating the profile, but the updating just wasn't working.
