Shoppers can still make purchases via Paypal without having a Paypal account. They basically use it as a gateway so that they can use their credit/debit card.
All they have to do is add the listing as normal to their cart and follow the prompts all the way to the end.
What you can do yourself so that you can better explain to your customer how to make a purchase using Paypal, is to make sure you are not logged into Paypal and make sure you are not logged into Bonanza. Then, go to your booth, add a listing to your cart and try to act like you are going to check out like a customer would without having a Paypal account. If you are logged into Bonanza, then you will not be able to add your own listing to your cart, that’s why I say to make sure you are logged out of Bonanza.
I’ve done this before off of Bonanza. Just do not follow through right to the very end :)
And then of course, which I believe you know this, you have to be set up to be able to accept a Paypal payment in the first place.

Buyers don’t have to have a PayPal account to use a credit card through PayPal. They simply click on the “Checkout with PayPal” button and instead of logging into a PP account, the buyer selects the option to create a PayPal account. On the next page, the buyer can choose to pay with a credit/debit card without having to create a PP account (though the option is there at the bottom of the page).
Of course, the buyer can always create a PP account and still use a credit/debit card to pay for the items. You don’t have to have money in the PP account.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
