So, can you put a gift card on PayPal? Maybe. Sometimes. With a little luck and a lot of clicking. The system is designed to make you work for it, like a video game boss level. But with the three methods I gave you—linking it directly, using a store wallet, or the risky money-send trick—you’ve got a fighting chance. Just don’t expect a smooth ride. And for heaven’s sake, don’t try to add a gift card from a store that went out of business in 2017. That’s just setting yourself up for heartbreak.
Now go on. Give it a try. And if it doesn’t work? Blame PayPal, not me. I’m just the friend with the wild theories over coffee. Cheers.
