Doh!

It isn't cheap, but you can use PayPal to add funds to VirWoX and from there buy Second Life Lindens (SLLs).  Then you can trade SLLs to bitcoins and withdraw.

If you have a debit card associated with the PayPal, you can withdraw the cash and go back to Albertsons and do it the right way the next time.

Also what is the best and easiest way for me to recieve btc now?

If you are in the U.S., you might like the cash deposit methods with BitMe (use any Chase branch), BitFloor (use any Bank of America), ZIGGAP (Western Union) that are options other than BitInstant.

Well, the remaining options include VouchX.  VouchX can be used at BitMe and Bitcoin-24 exchanges.

The only problem with Paypal is that the transaction may be reversed. If you sell the coins for Paypal, then you're at risk.
