PayPal Checkout—The Actually Useful, Not-Boring Guide
Mobile Devices, Here We Go
- First thing, grab DuckDuckGo browser from whatever app store you vibe with.
- Kill your Wi-Fi. Seriously, just turn it off. Switch over to LTE or 4G so you’re not blasting your real IP everywhere.
- Hit up scamalytics.com, see how sketchy your IP looks. Score over 20? Airplane mode on for five seconds—let your phone take a little nap—then flick it back off and try again.
- Pop over to bakerskateboards.com. Don’t get distracted—yeah, their boards look sick.
- Pick any product. I mean, you’re not buying it (yet), calm down.
- Scroll until you spot that “Buy Now” section.
- Smash “Checkout with PayPal.” If the thing you picked doesn’t even offer PayPal, just back up and eyeball something that does.
- When PayPal login pops up, type in the email. For the password, deliberately slap an extra “!” on the end. It’s supposed to be wrong. That’s the magic.
- The site’ll say, “Whoops, wrong password.” Go back in, type the actual password this time.
- Boom, you should land right on that checkout screen staring at the payment method selection. Just. Ignore. It.
- Open a brand new browser tab, cruise over to paypal.com/myaccount/summary.
- Congrats, you’re at the full PayPal dashboard now. Send money, shop, have fun… whatever you planned. It’s all there.
PC Devices—Because Who Doesn’t Love a Big Screen
- Using proxies? Choose one chilling near wherever the PayPal account’s real owner lives. Skip if you’re rolling proxy-free.
- Download Brave Browser. Chrome is old news.
- From here, just scroll back up and do steps 3 through 12 like on mobile—don’t overthink it.
PayPal Yahoo Logs For the Curious
- Open the site where you want to make your purchase.
- Pick your item, slap it in the cart, select PayPal at checkout.
- Email’s legit; toss it in.
- For password? Go nuts—something like P455WORD123!!! is fine, because you WANT it to be wrong.
- If PayPal says the password is trash (which it should), click “reset password.” Make sure it’s going to the email, not text. No email option? RIP, account’s not happening.
- Once you get the reset email, just set the password to match the random one you just made up. Why not.
- Close out the reset tab.
- Now, re-do the checkout. This round: use the actual password.
- If you get smacked with 2FA, probably means your IP is sketchy—see the fraud score stuff above.
- If you roll through to payment, finish up. Boom. Done.
- Want to avoid cancellations? You’d probably want to read the “What to do if I successfully hit” bit from wherever you got the original guide.
How to Nuke Your Browser History
—Mobile Vibes
- Tap the little fire icon thing at the bottom of DuckDuckGo to clear all evidence like you were never there.
- Airplane mode for five seconds or more (get some fresh IP).
- Start back at step one. The grind never ends.
—PC, a.k.a. How To Wipe Brave
- Ctrl+H opens history like magic.
- On the left: “Clear Browsing Data.” Click it.
- Punch into “Advanced” and tick every box: Browsing History, Download History, Cookies, Cached Images. All that jazz. Make sure the range says “All Time.”
- Click “Clear Data.” Close down the browser, take a breath.
- Boot it up again, and just repeat steps 1 through 12 from earlier.
Heads Up—A Few More Nuggets
- If you’re bouncing between different accounts with residential IPs, switch to a new IP for each one. Otherwise, stuff gets flagged, and that’s no fun for anybody, right?
And that’s about it. Shady? Maybe. Effective? Definitely. Don’t say I never taught you nothin’.
