Google Business Listing Address for E-Commerce Site? Should I use "no address" or "virtual business address"?

Hi, I searched Reddit but couldn't find an answer to my question.

I operate my small e-commerce business out of my home currently. I want to be on Google Business to help with ranking on Google , but don't want to put my home address on the listing.

It looks like I have a few options:

Option 1)

Use no address and checkmark the boxes for "Hide my address" and "I deliver goods and services to my customers."

My thoughts are that this could narrow me to a more "local" SEO help without having to put an address.

Option 2)

Register and purchase a "virtual business address" or a USPS Address (not looking for a PO BOX). and use that as the business address for Google, but - if many other companies are using this same address could it potentially hurt my business rankings? Or what if someone tried to go there to see my shop, which will not not exist there.

Option 3)

Another option?

Currently my rankings are non-existent, but I am looking to establish some Google Search Presence.

Thank you for reading and any assistance you can offer.

TLDR: I don't know the best way to register my e-commerce business on Google Listings that I operate out of my residence.
