trying to buy hearts, can't do it

[yorkster]

5. I re-upped my star membership recently and

I was able to select debit card/credit card option. I think I did it without using PayPal from my end, although I did get an email from PP as a receipt. I read somewhere here that DU processes payments through PP whether or not the member uses PP.
(Hope I haven't misconstrued anything.)

My.main reason for not using PP is that.they send me emails about my "account" balance. I pretty much never use them if I can avoid it, but, like you, I like to take part in heart time here.
Again, I hope I got this straight. There may be a difference between buying a star vs. hearts process wise.
Take care. Pardon the ramble.
