Illustrative diagram of how to pay with credit card on Paypal screen.

The above screen shot shows where to click on the Paypal screen to pay by credit card, if you don’t have a Paypal account, and you would rather use your credit card to pay for the transaction. You will not be required to create a Paypal account to complete the transaction using this method.

Paypal by default makes this kind of ambiguous. The link reads, “Don’t Have a Paypal Account?” It seems that they would rather you create an account with Paypal instead of use your credit card. However, by clicking on this link you will be brought to a payment screen that will allow you to enter your credit card information. That screen should look similar to this screen shot below.
