BBB, I'm not Tom, but this issue was discussed before, so I'll tell you what I found out.
You do have to subscribe to be a member, and it will automatically renew unless you stop it.
The way to just do it for one year is to go ahead and sign up. Then go into your PayPal account and open the invoice. There will be a place where you can check "cancel subscription."
That will keep it from automatically renewing.
Hope that helps.
