Hey, I have a problem.
I got banned from Paypal like 2 years ago. The reason is that I bought something online (key for a game) and it was not delivered within a few days. Support never answered and yeah I checked spam.
Anyway, I did a chargeback because Paypal refused to give my money back (buyers protection my ass) and got banned from Paypal afterwards.

Now I need to buy something online and the only way is to use paypal with that merchant.
The question is, can I buy as a guest with a prepaid credit card or will Paypal insist on logging in? Does a different EMail adress suffice to deceive them?
Reason that I ask is because I need to load up my credit card and I can't afford to let the money just sit there if it does not work.

Thanks for reading and answering.

Chances are a different credit card or bank account and email address will see you right.

As far as I know you can use major credit cards with PayPal even without logging in. However I have no idea if they log your IP address or keep those logs even after 2 years, and use it to further refuse you service. A different e-mail would suffice, but if you really want to be safe (and sure) you could try using another IP (a friend's or something, if you're on a static IP.)

They can't get me by IP. I get a new one every day. Also, my bank account changed since then. It is either the name or the EMail. I tried to pay with german localized options but that did not work. So my last chance is credit card.

It should work if it's a major one. The usual suspects, I assume: MasterCard, Visa, AmEx (probably) etc.

Paying by credit card will work without having to enter account information besides the billing address. Also Paypal won't care who you are when paying by this method
