So I have an account with some decent cash in it. About $1300. My paypal has a VBA and I actually want to purchase something from best buy. Has anyone used the in store pickup before? I know you can actually send an authorized guest to pick up your item.

I made a couple, they require,ID, but the store near me has 16 year old kids back there texting away, I just handed hem my real ID nothing close to what my stealth account was and they took it handed it back and Gave me the item and went back to texting or whatever on there phones
I did this 4 times, 1 time they didn't even ask for the ID , the next I went when the manager was there and told them I didn't need my ID the last time but they were not having it and I told them to cancel
And than the last 2 times I gave my real ID , just scope out the best buy pickup before u make an order , but it's usually ran by minimum wage teenagers that don't care, and go thru the motions like zombies, and every-time I went never made eye contact once

There are better ways to purchase than through Best Buy or some big box retail stores tbh. My only advice is to avoid spending on eBay; Paypal has more of a hard-on for eBay sales.

I like sprinkle some small in-store pickups. STAY AWAY from sears/Kmart if stealth is weak! They background check public record database. Second time and retailer I had to cancel the payment doing this. Scury times.

I've had nothing but complete success I can safely say I made HUNDREDS of purchases using in store pick up at Best Buy Walmart Homedepot Sears Kmart Office Depot to name a few
Only thing is that u have to use a store that allows u to change the name person whos picking
U put your real name (person who's picking up) go to the store show them your ID and sign a paper saying u're picking it up and that's it in and out
I've done this with small ink purchases and home improvement item to new tires speakers DVDs car accessories I mean I could go on and on
Matter of fact that's the ONLY way I shop at Best buy specially
Trust me it's 100% safe

You can buy gift cards at a certain online market (which I won't name here, although you should be able to find it easily) for big box retail store using Paypal. They get shipped to your confirmed address and then you can just use them in store normally. That doesn't require an ID. :O No pickup mixup, just another workaround.

That is what I needed to do when sears' security department (the same department that handles ccard payments and the like) said they could not find me in the system. I was on hold for 15+ minutes, hung up on her, called my registered Addy landlord to warn her of incoming phone call, called back the department and rep continued to try and find any records of me. Inside the pp email at the bottom was my name and address under shipping details. Except the address wasn't mine I googled it and seen it belong to sears. Weird. Maybe that's because my purchase was for a egift card to myself. No problems at some stores, truthat.

Also there are some foot lockers near me where I walked In and at check out they had a little sign saying we accept paypal
All u need to do is type in your email address and password into the credit card processor and that's it no ID , just like using a credit card, Home Depot also works like this at checkout

I'm sure paypal sees this as a risky transaction so on new accounts I would definitely avoid these types of payments.
I would wait until paypal lifts that 21 day hold , it's still risky but at least when the hold is lifted you know that you are on a higher trust level with paypal

I've had no problems with walmart home depot and office depot. Always make the account to the store you are buying from same as stealth. Then just always use real name for pick up. Easy peezy. Beware of target. They accept paypal but if you return you get target store credit only. Some of the stores listed paypal but paypal on the website and paypal in store 2 different systems.

I use in-store pickup all the time. It's perfect for accounts with VBAs.
