I just ran into the same problem last night. I used the Visa gift card/ Debit card to try and make purchase on ebay last night. All was good until I had to confirm the final payment and then I received the same message as everyone else did. This is the only type of card I have ever used to make online purchases and I've never had a problem until last night. I asked the Virtual Agent lol and she said, "In the United States, PayPal allows Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express cards with an American billing address. PayPal does not recommend adding a gift card, prepaid card, virtual card, or one-time use card to your PayPal account. Although some of these cards may be accepted, most do not pass our security checks." Did they add new security checks or something? What the **bleep**! Why won't it just work like before?!
