Description For raising the price, PayPal does not make this easy. It is possible to request users agree to new subscription terms, but Composr doesn't have a mechanism for this at the moment. We could make a block that puts out a button if we sense a discrepancy between an active subscription and what the current price is for that subscription.
(PayPal help for this – Modifying Active Subscriptions)
Steps to reproduce

Additional information You could essentially do this (add to documentation)…
Change the price in the usergroup subscription's settings.
Place our new block on your site, under the personal stats block
Send a newsletter to people in the subscribers group saying the price is changing and to click the button if you've subscribed via PayPal.
After say a month, generate a report from PayPal (CSV).
Manually filter it to show all subscribers on the old price.
Contact these members manually / mail merge.
Repeat 4-5 after your further grace period.
Feed the remaining people through a mass cancel Subscription Cancellation
