You product has been serving well for me. Thanks!
Quick question for you, I have been paying for PayPal Pro in order to accept credit card payment from my customers. Is it still the case? Can I use regular PayPal (without Pro) and still accept credit card payments from my customers? I don't know if there was some recent change to the system...

It's good to know that E-junkie is working well for you :-)
PayPal standard can very well be used to accept credit cards. That's not a new feature.

When a merchant has PayPal Pro, the buyer can choose to pay the merchant directly with their card, or they can choose a regular PayPal checkout on PayPal.com (where the buyer actually pays PayPal, which then pays the merchant), and the latter is called "PayPal Express Checkout" when it's part of the PayPal Pro merchant services.
With or without PayPal Pro, going to checkout on PayPal's site will usually offer the buyer a choice of logging into their PayPal account, starting a new account, or just providing their card info directly to PayPal for payment. There are certain circumstances where PayPal will not offer the direct-card payment option, as described here:

I tried to validate that link by clearing my cash/cookies/offlinedate ect.
I test purchased an item on a site using API and pretended that my emial adress(the purchaser) had no paypal acocunt.
Paypal did not give me the option to pay by credit card.
did same thing on a website using only the simple redirect with email address and no API.
Paypal gave me this beautifull window with credit card information on the left and option to log in on the right.
Assumptions: All of the above is without paypal pro

I'm not clear what you mean about sites "using API" vs. "using only the simple redirect with email address and no API"?
For sites using PayPal Pro, the buyer has a choice of two buttons in their cart:
- The "Pay with Credit Card" button takes them to a secure checkout page where they provide their card account info to pay the merchant directly from the buyer's card account.
- The "Checkout with PayPal" button takes them to PayPal's site for a regular PayPal account-based payment, aka "PayPal Express Checkout"; in this case, PayPal would not offer the no-account card-checkout option on their site, because that's what the "Pay with Credit Card" option in the cart is for.
For sites using only regular PayPal Standard/Business/Premier, then PayPal would offer the no-account card-checkout option on their site if they don't detect a previous PayPal-login cookie in the buyer's browser. For instance, clear your cookies and test our PayPal demo cart with a PayPal checkout (you don't have to actually complete checkout, just see what options come up when you go there):
