<div class="im">> My understanding is that paypal is not forcing you to have "an account"<br>
</div>>(...)<br>
<div class="im">> Am I wrong about that, for Germany at least?<br>
<br>
</div>It seems just so. I was also very surprised because, up to now, this had never been a problem.<br>
Just to clarify: It is perfectly clear to me that I have to provide email adress and credit card details to paypal. I have no problem with that.<br>
But paypal was (at least yesterday) definitely trying to force me to have an account and I HAVE a problem with that. (I had an account once and will NEVER have one again).</blockquote></div><br>I experienced something similar in the past: I've been able to use PayPal without creating an account until one day I was forced to have one. So reluctantly I accepted. Later on I found out that it was a wrong decision: once you are in, it's hard to get out.<div>
So I definitely share your feelings about PayPal.</div><div><br></div><div>Bank transfers inside EU are way better and cheap (0.50 per transaction).</div>
