I had a big fight with them a few years ago.  I bought something (theatre
tickets IIRC, no other payment option) via paypal, ticked the box saying that I
did NOT want an account; then received an email welcoming me to said account ...
long phone calls to Eire and Luxembourg finally got it closed and they then
banned me from ever making any other payment via them - although I did make one
a year later - and they did not open an account on that occasion.
