Can i add money from a gift card to paypal

Simply link the gift card to your PayPal account and fund any PayPal purchases that way. Nevertheless, if you'd still like to transfer money from your VISA gift card to your PayPal balance, you can. It will cost you, however.

You cannot transfer money from a prepaid card to PayPal. You can only link the prepaid card to your PayPal account, and use it to make payments. PayPal accepts any prepaid card that has a Visa, American Express, MasterCard or Discover logo. However, prepaid cards can not be used for automatic recurring payments.
