Hello,
I have a bit of a strange situation. I'd like to make a purchase on ebay with an ebay gift card. The gift card will cover the full price of the purchase. However, I still have to use paypal to checkout.
I currently have to use insecure wifi and so I don't feel safe entering the information required to verify my paypal account. I'll be verifying it in a few weeks. In the meantime, I was wondering if I can still use this paypal account to complete the purchase.
I don't want to claim the gift card only to find that paypal would refuse to let me make the transaction and I'd be stuck with a gift card I couldn't use (this is my first time using ebay so I have no idea how this works exactly but I read that gift cards do get associated with the account they are claimed on). So if paypal won't let me make the transaction, I can just have a friend use the gift card for me. However, I'd hate to bother them if I can do this on my own.
Thank you for any help.
