Visa Gift Cards and Paypal

I know people have had problems verifying a visa gift card in paypal. I don't want to do that thought. Some of you may have noticed that some sites will allow you to pay through paypal by clicking "buy now". Sometimes, they give you the option to just use a credit card, and you don't have to sign up for paypal. I was wondering if a visa gift card would work if I used the "buy now" function. I don't see why paypal would have a problem with that, but I'm not completely sure.

Thanks.

 

what is visa gift card? Is it different from credit card?

 

A visa gift card is a prepaid card that can be used at most locations:

I've heard paypal has a problem with it though.

 

I have seen people using all thise visa gift cards for shopping,so i think it will work.

 

Cool! Thanks for the help!
