Paypal has been updating its site (for mobile optimisation by the paint-by-numbers look of it) for the last few weeks and this can cause some confusion.
Obviously if you have a Paypal account and are planning to use that to fund a purchase from our site it is still as straight forward as logging in to your Paypal account when the shopping cart redirects you to Paypal. However if you wish to use a credit or debit card the old screen with the helpful “Pay by Card” on the right of the screen under the login link has now been replaced. Now you are presented with a cookie-cutter login screen, with no specific directions for card payments – you have to click on the grey “Check Out as a Guest” button under the login button which will then take you to the old screen we are all familiar with.
I have noticed in the last couple of days that sometimes the grey button actually says “Create an Account”, so they must still be tinkering with the site. If that happens to you, try reloading the page.
These observations are from using a PC with Firefox – I don’t know what (if any) differences there are using other browsers or mobile devices.
