Trouble setting up iTunes account with Paypal

I've been having a really hard time setting an iTunes account. I don't want to use credit cards at all and according to the iTunes customer support, I don't need a credit card:
"A credit card is not required. However, if you do not wish to add a credit card, you must add a debit card or add and confirm a bank account before you can send money with your PayPal account."
I've had my Paypal account for a while now and I have my bank account confirmed and tied with Paypal. My problem occurs when I try to make an iTunes account. I select Paypal from the payment choices and choose to validate it. I'm taken to a login screen for Paypal where I log into my account and accept the billing agreement. Afterward, I'm brought to a screen where I have to input credit card information. I have a bank account confirmed with my Paypal account, so why would I need a credit card? Please, can somebody help me out here?
I sent Apple's customer service an email about a week ago and I'll I got back was a confirmatio of the email I sent.

I've e mailed support about this exact problem, (6 times) still no answer. My PayPal account shows iTunes as pre approved, but the bottom line iTunes *****.you know there has to be way more of us out there, the obviously don't care.To bad iTunes has to ruin the iPod. sorry, but it seems ikewasted time. Try Paypal support.

Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
for this purchase I am considering:
1. going into the "edit payment information".
2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
3. completing the purchase and download
4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
any advice appeciated. TIA.

This is incorrect.
It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion. Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines. I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly. If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
I also wanted to install iPhoto. I bought iPhoto on my personal account. I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account. Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

They will have to be answered the first time when purchasing from a new computer or device.

Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

Check out the article below to see what could be blocking you from selecting None as a form of payment.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

Receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber - what's going on here?

Hi. I am receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber (as I now have a receipt for that purchase). It states that it is billed to store credit. (a) I don't want to receive this person's information and (b) I certainly don't want to somehow be charged for it (although it appears, thus far, that I have not been). What's going on?

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

If i already have an itunes account with my family can i open a new account to sync my old and new phone

if I already have an iTunes account with my family can I open a new iTunes account to sync my old iphone 4 and new iphone 5?

Hi Rileycarline,
You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.

I share an itunes account with 3 users. How can I find out which person downloaded a certain app?

Agile,
Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it. Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work. Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
For the name change: Connect the device. When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.
