Unfortunately this is a problem with Visa gift cards from Vanilla. Somehow individuals are pulling the money of the cards after they are activated using Paypal accounts. My daughter recieved one and it was drained in 1 day by someone with a Paypal account. Somethings you can do. Contact Paypal's fraud department. (They will want you to dispute the transaction. I would. ) If that doesn't work, your options are limited. Vanilla Gift cards parent company does not have a stellar reputation with dealing with this sort of thing and it is a on going problem. Call the number on the back of the visa after dealing with Paypal. If you fight long enough, you may get the money back. Just don't hold your breath... Worse comes to worse, there's to be a class action lawsuit brewing. Just google Vanilla gift card stolen funds...
