I was thinking is it possible to get gift credit cards and link them to my paypal account? I've been noticing how it pays from your bank account directly and not your credit cards. thanks In regards to your question about "can I use gift cards" the answer is yes, I use them all the time, just make sure to go online with the supplier of the gift card and leave a postal code or whatever it asks for, for verification. The down side is everytime you add another gift card you have to make sure to change the payment method to that card (make it the primary card) . And paypal automatically dings the card for a buck to verify its good, and then you wait days and days to get your money back. So long and short is make sure you buy a big enough gift card,to do what you need to do, and expect paypal to hang on to a dollar off of each one you use for days.My only thoughts on why it might take them so long to do this is, possibly, they make a lot of money from interest on all the money that sits in their account for days before being paid out to merchants or back to the buyers cards.I realize that interest on a dollar or two is nothing, but when you are talking about the amount of transactions and money changing hands on a daily basis through ebay and paypal, one in the same I think, then we have some serious coin we are talking about. BTW I only use Mastercard, and Visa giftcards, and am in Canada, definetly work here.
