You can't really stop a transaction but if you have RBF turned on then you can replace it with a different one that has a higher miner fee. I just bought $400 in giftcards on The Bitcoin Company but realized that the item I wanted to buy I couldn't use giftcards on after I started the purchase. If I had RBF turned on I could issue a transaction to one of my own wallets to replace the $400 I sent to TBC to go to one of my own wallets and as long as I paid a higher miner fee then miners will not process the original tx to TBC.
