If you are from outside the US (like me), once you select your country (Canada) to enter the payment details for a non-paypal visa card payment, it takes away the option to pay without being a member.
Test it yourself. Choose to pay wihtout using a paypal account. Then, select Canada as your country. It will immediately switch to a new page WITHOUT the option to pay unless you create an acount.
I have several reasons for not using PayPal, however it's primarily because of how they screwed me out of $650 when a scammer used a stolen credit card to pay for hockey tickets I was selling. I used PayPal to sell because I trusted them to verify payments. I waited the 3 weeks for the payment to clear into my PayPal account, then I withdrew it. It was only then that PayPal sent me a letter full of threats to sue me and/or refer my case to the police if I didn't send them back the money they had cleared!!! This was the first letter! No polite letter saying, "The person who bought your tickets used a stolen card and we need the money back." Nope. They went straight to threatening me as if I had done something wrong. And when I called them (getting a phone number and not a email was a HUGE pain in itself) I dealt with several of the most unhelpful and straight up rude people I had ever spoken to in my life.
It's a horrible company and, after I repaid the money they screwed up by taking!, I closed my account and swore I'd never open another.
I love viptv.net, but it'll be back to sidereel for me if my only option is to leave or open a PayPal account. Too bad, as there are numerous other WAY FRIENDLIER payment processing options out there (google checkout, interac, etc.).
