Its not possible to add funds into your own PayPal account with any Wallet linked card; whether a credit, debit, or prepaid gift card.

It may be possible to link the cards to your account for use as a funding source for payments.

Here is a PayPal link with details on gift cards.

Can I send the balances to someone else so they can use them up.

You are not allowed to use PayPal for creative ways of obtaining a cash advance, for yourself, or others.

It's not a cash advance, It's THEIR MONEY

That may be possible however, I believe that because the funding source is a card, PayPal will charge you a fee.

Can PayPal please answer this question?

I had the same problem and the guy I talked to (w/ Paypal) said the only way to do something like this is to transfer the money from the GC's on your account to a friend's PayPal account and then have that person just send you the money back to you as PayPal Cash. You can then use that balance as a whole instead of multiple GC's. You will have to pay the fee when transferring the money from the GC's to your friends account. Small price to pay to have the convenience of PayPal cash. I would think they'd come up with a much cleaner process for something as simple as this.

If yoy use amazon you can add them there. As many as you want. Go to gift card and add funds. My company used to give prepaid visa etc as gifts. I would end up with a ton with a few dollars etc.
