A lot of pre-paid cards paypal don't accept, especially those that you can't verify with a billing address.

I've been able to use a prepaid gift card by registering it as a regular credit card. However, as mentioned above, only some prepaid gift cards will work. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the cards that PayPal rejects are the same ones that eBay's credit card payment rejects.
