I accept e-giftcards emailed to me.
AMAZON(a giftcard can be sent via email within 15 minutes)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/gc/order-e...%5Fbtn%5Femail
Amazon is fabulous! You can buy an amazon e-card on the website and put in any name you want as "from" ("You know who" or "your best friend" or "Uncle Bosley") and put in my (her) email address as the recipient.
I have never had any issue logging into Amazon with my real name email account and entering the gift credit number (which was sent to my hobby email) and being able to spend it. I don't see the hobbyist's real name/email/credit card, and he doesn't see my real name/email/mailing address.

Just cut out all the extra steps and rearrange the order(remove the hobbyist having to go into a store and buy a giftcard. Move up the part where he logs on to Amazon and he can buy a virtual giftcard with me (her) as the recipient. Leave in the fuck for an hour part.)
A little tip is to make the gift for some real-sounding amount like $297.50 instead of $300.
