A merchant I shopped at, and paid in full by card, opened an account for me and shared line item details with Klarna, apparently because they are using them as their payments processor in addition to an installment payment option.

I noticed this when I later did in fact "open" an (or rather, claim an existing) account with them.

Very disturbing, and the bad aftertaste has never fully gone away.
