12. If you want to pay electronically, you'll have to at least partially go through PayPal

You don't have a PayPal account and you don't want one, so you can check out as a guest by clicking the "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" button.

You'll be asked for an email address. If you want a receipt, you should put in a working address. If you don't care about a receipt, you can presumably enter any old thing and it doesn't matter. After you've entered the address you'll be taken to a payment page.

When you're on the payment page you'll be asked to provide other information which PayPal will use to confirm your ownership of the credit card. This is normal. Entering this information will NOT create a PayPal account for you. It's just used to verify the credit card. PayPal then processes the payment and sends the funds to us, minus their processing fee, and within a few minutes your DU account should be updated to show your Star Membership.

If you do not want to go through PayPal *at all* the only way to do it is to pay by mail.
