I just purchased an item from a seller who listed Paypal as their only payment option, and it also had credit card logos included. I did email him and he said he would take a money order as payment (since I don't have, nor do I want, Paypal). Anyway, when I completed the Buy It Now, a payment screen came up so I followed links, intending to just send him my shipping address info, etc. But then the payment screens looked/read as though I could pay with my Visa card WITHOUT having Paypal. Where I entered my credit card info, chosing Visa from the pull-down menu, it had a little link up above saying something like "Do you have a Paypal account? Log in here", which I did not do, since I don't have one. So I filled out my Visa info, but then at the end it said my Paypal payment was sent. I never signed up for a PP account (don't want one). Did I pay with my credit card, or not? ??? I'm so confused right now - I don't know if my Visa was charged or if I need to still go get a Money Order. Can I send a PP payment with my credit card if I DON'T have a PP account?? It made it look like I could just pay with my Visa card, whether or not I had a PP account.
