I don't use PayPal and cannot purchase hearts

I followed the directions to use a debit or a credit card. I entered the details, my address, and then the only option is

Create account and pay now.

Well, I am not going to create an account with Paypal. I don't understand this. I have contributed before and never had such a hurdle.

Has anyone else have similar diffifculties?

You have to uncheck it, and then the “Pay now as guest” button will appear.

See this thread and in particular the bottom two images:
