I just wanna pay for the item and be done with it, but PayPal is making me actually sign up for an account.

I don't want an account through them.

Isn't there just a screen where I can input my card # and just be done with it without going through this unnecessary hassle?

I dont even know if I paid for the item or not. I clicked "pay now" and it asked for my CC# and all that, but then it immediately brought up my email and a "create a password" type screen.

No receipt page, nothing.

[edit]
Actually went through that part twice. The first time it told me that there's already an account w/ my email address (there used to be years ago), but it's locked because I never cared enough to re-agree to their TOS and it was deactivated. So I re-entered all the info again, and same crap. So I put in a new email address & pw... and it still looks like it's making me sign up for it, which I do NOT want to do.

It's telling me to do that stupid $1.95 charge and to wait weeks for my bank statement to verify the number, etc... this site pisses me off so bad.

"Before you may use this funding source (your credit card ending in xxxx), you will need to enter your Expanded Use Number for this card. To obtain and enter this number, follow the instructions below."

Uh... if I need to pay for something now, why would I have to wait till I get my f'n bank statement?

Lo and behold, tricked into opening an account.
