Hello. I'm trying to pay for a game with my ebay gift card, but when I log in through paypal, it asks me for a credit/debit card. Thing is, last time I bought a game, it didn't ask me for a credit/debit card and, also, I don't have a credit/debit card. So, how can I pay simply with my ebay gift card without having to link a credit/debit card? Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Fake credit card info maybe? As long as there is no shipping involved, I think that it can be done that way.

However, I'm not sure so don't take my word for granted. Better wait for someone else who is, to give you a suggestion.

Will that fake credit card be linked forever to my paypal account though? :/

If you are forced to link the Credit card info to your Paypal account, I don't think it can happen. Paypal has to charge the Credit Card in order for it to get linked (AFAIK).

what? im on that page now :s

"You need your eBay account to be registered in the U.S. and must have the item delivered to a US address to use your eBay gift card"

Atleast thats whats on that page. If that info is correct i would assume its asking debit/cc because the gift card isn't useable..But yeah, if you already made purchase with it, i have no clue

The page is available for me. I guess Paypal support are the only ones who could actually help you with this.

I fixed it. Ebay just loves taking taxes from paypal, even if you pay with ebay gift card, so I asked for some money from a friend. :P
