Help. I am trying to pay for valentines hearts directly through my credit card but the

site keeps directing me to PayPal even though I opt to pay via CC. Does anyone know how to get around this? It's very frustrating. I would prefer not to sign up for a PayPal account. I have entered all my info and it still won't go through.

where you can enter your credit card info, but even so I think the transaction is processed by PayPal?

Because I used my credit card, and got a confirmation email which said "thanks for using PayPal," followed by

"Create a PayPal account in just a few seconds so every checkout is a snap!"

And a button to "activate PayPal now"

So.. I guess they have all my info but I don't actually have an active account unless I complete the process? (I don't want a PayPal account.)

Anyway - I'm now a contributor to a site which has been such an immense help to me the last few years.

Thank you, DU!
