Can I Use a Gift Card (from Visa/mastercard/amex/discover) On My Purchase?

Gift Cards of this variety typically cannot be authorized for online purchases as they are formatted differently than standard credit/debit cards. That said, PayPal specifically designed a system to help online retailers deal with the inability to secure a standard Prepaid Gift Card transaction. Customers are able to associate Prepaid Gift Cards from Visa/Mastercard/AMEX/Discover as payment sources for their PayPal accounts. Please visit the PayPal landing page "How To Pay With Prepaid Gift Cards". Using this system, you can place an order on the site with the aforementioned Prepaid Gift Cards via PayPal.
