Problem:
Q1) Create user with CRED form, activate the user after he make the payment
Q2) The username/email they are trying to register with will return an error because the email/username has already been used
Q3) check if post author of current post is an activated wordpress user
Solution:
A1) With CRED commerce plugin, you can download it here:
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/
Then you will be able to setup it as hidden user after submit the form, activate the user after they make the payment
A2) If you use above suggestion, then the new user will be able to created only after they make the payment, so there will not be such a problem.
A3) Use Views shortcode wpv–conditional to check if the author of current post

[wpv–conditional if="''='[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="user_login"]'"]
    ----------No-----------> Don't display post
[/wpv–conditional]
[wpv–conditional if="''!='[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="user_login"]'"]
Display Business Listing
[/wpv–conditional]
