Paypal has a service to let non-paypal users to pay using their credit
card. However, if you have a Paypal account and you choose to pay with
your credit card, Paypal does not like it. Here is the message from them

First, they made it easy for non-paypal users to transact. Then they
make it hard for existing Paypal users to pay from anything other than
a Paypal account.
It’s an annoyance and hopefully Paypal is working on fixing it. Very simply, Paypal can provide three options
1. I have a PayPal account and I want to pay using PayPal
2. I have a PayPal account and I want to pay using a credit card
3. I don’t have a PayPal account and I want to pay using a credit card
That should take care of it, I guess.
