Do vanilla Visa gift cards work with paypal?
Last time i used one it worked, however about 3 days ago i got a TD bank gift card that did not work paypal gave the message that it could not add, the card was registered and activated. Is TD bank different or did paypal block debit gift cards? (if you answer please ensure that it is up to date) Thanks!
Both VISA and Mastercard gift cards can be used at online stores. You enter them as your payment just as if they are a normal VISA or Mastercard credit card.
There are two issues that frequently pop up:
When the store goes to authenticate your card it fails due to the address. A regular credit card has an actual address tied to it. The gift card obviously does not. Some web sites adapt to this – others don’t.
When the tax and shipping are added in the total price exceeds the amount on the gift card.

You shouldn’t have any problem since its Visa gift card. They shouldn’t block debit card. Try again and specify it is VISA. Hope it works.
