On the Best Buy Payment options page it says this: 

 

BestBuy.com accepts the following forms of payment:

• Best Buy credit card
• Best Buy gift cards
• Pitch In™ Card
• Reward Zone® MasterCard
• American Express
• Discover
• MasterCard
• Visa
• JCB
• Diners Club
• PayPal
• Best Buy store credit
• Reward Zone® reward certificates

BestBuy.com does not accept personal checks or purchase orders.

Best Buy stores accept the payment methods above, plus:

• Personal checks
• Business checks
• Traveler's checks
• Cashier's checks
• Best Buy Commercial Card
• Vendor coupons
• Best Buy gift certificates
• Cash
  
  

If  "Best Buy stores accept the payment methods above, plus" does that include the Paypal pay option?, and how exactly does that work? Is there anyway without a paypal debit card (Or a pitch in card, which is suposedly in the mail) that I can go in to a store tomorrow and use my paypal balance to purchase something instore. I tried to see if it was possible to get gift cards for instore pickup but that doesnt seem to be possible.

Hmm good question. I personally can say that my local store doesn't accept PayPal (unless that changed in the last 2 months), but the above seems like some may or should.

I would assume that the mod will say what I am about to say. That you can order from online for in store pickup and use PayPal. This technically you can use PayPal to purchase items in store.

That being said I am interested in the answer that will come.

Ah yeah In-store pickup I forgot to mention that, that definetly would be ideal, but what I was hoping to try to purchase tomorrow is the iPad, which isn't available for in store pickup at the moment.

Yeh then it will probably take 3-5 days for an official mod to post, but possibly another employee can shed some better news.

I'm thinking it's just a typo. I know you can get PayPal credit cards, but I believe they are just branded Visa/Mastercards.

Hello shorties,

Great question!  You could use the PayPal credit card or purchase online with your account and pickup the item in the store.
