Unfortunately, paypal doesn't acept gift cards for payments. If you are having an issue with your debit/credit card being accepted, Pay Pal has a phone number you can call directly. If this is a new account sometimes there is an approval process that takes several days. I would call them and discuss your account, they are very helpful when you call.
You will first need to log into your account click contact us at bottom of page, it will direct you to a page that asks *why are you contacting us* scroll down a bit and click *call us* that page will give you a web PIN needed when calling them. I hope this helps..
