ive debated it, ive just spoke with a refunder friend of mine and he says Paypal AE is the best method for Arcteryx right now as he recently did a large order on it and had multiple successful ones in the past

Understood.

I plan to use a VPN to buy the goods on the account, then disconnect from the VPN, wait a day (not going on my PayPal in the process) and then log back in to my PayPal and log the claim

Let's clarify this.

The UA pertains to someone accessing your account, and making a purchase without your permission. A claim Is then made by you for an unauthorized transaction/charge on the account. Given the (seemingly) other person Is obviously totally unrelated, In answer to your question, you'd need to use another address as the delivery point.
