Again.  I understand, and it _should_ work.  But it doesn't for me.

I've been having this problem with Paypal for several months.  I once
had a paypal account, then they changed the TOS in a way I didn't like
and I refused to agree to, so I requested that they terminate my account.
Of course, they claimed they did.

However, any time I try to use my CC to make a paypal "accountless"
payment, I hit up against this problem.  Apparently, the people at
paypal are incapable of following their own rules (which state that I
can't have an account if I don't agree to their TOS)

Anyway, it's between PayPal and I, but I don't suppose it will ever
get resolved, unless I sue or something, and I can't imagine there's
any justification for suing.
