Can I buy things from paypal without creating a paypal account? I just want to purchase 1 item, is it possible?

No, you can't buy something through Paypal if you don't have a paypal account.

I looked around and found this https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr...nt-outside

Does that mean I don't need a paypal account or does it mean I need a paypal account after buying it?

Looks like you don't have to have one anymore as long as you are willing to pay with a credit card.

So if I'm going to buy 1 item with a credit card I don't need a paypal account?

It depends, what is the item you're buying? Does it only have a BUY THROUGH PAYPAL option? Or can you do through credit card? And if you have a credit card, then couldn't you just make a PayPal account?

I'm buying earbuds from this site and there is "Checkout via paypal"

I'm pretty sure that you can buy using PayPal without a PayPal account, from what I remember I've done it before.
