Can I link gift cards and prepaid cards to my account?

I was planning on buy a Visa Gift card from the local grocery store and link it here, but I don't know if that would work or not.  Can I link pre-paid cards and gift cards to my PayPal account?

Yes, you can link these cards but they have to be ones that you need registered at card issuer website to manage the account and so PayPal can verify if they are valid.  The account info has to match PayPal acct info.

And in the cases where it was bought for me by someone else?
