Hello @Tom157,

We're not able to transfer funds from an egift-card or gift card of any kind to your PayPal balance to then be transferred out via your Cash card. If the gift card is a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or AMEX, you can add it as a regular credit / debit card and then use it during checkout, however you'll need to make sure it's registered at it's sponsor's website (ie. amex, vanilla, paypal-prepaid, etc.). 

I hope that clears it up,

Honestly that doesnt help. So your saying if i do put money of any kind on my account it turns into credit then is able to be used by off from my card,so why can i not use the egiftcard money that turns into credit on my card normaly on things i would everyday in life..ok in short if i go to most stores like say walmart they have a paypal gift card why wouldnt i be able to put that on my account so i dont hang onto a bunch of gift cards ill thin be able to use only one card the credit/debit card i get from you guys.

Hello @Tom157, 

I'm happy to clarify a bit further as I'm not sure we're on the same page. By adding a prepaid gift-card, debit, or credit card on your PayPal account, the funds do not transfer over to your PayPal account balance. You can use that funding source at checkout through PayPal.

Purchasing a prepaid PayPal MasterCard at Wal-Mart would only only you to use those funds on that card through that card. That would not add the funds to your PayPal account balance. If you'd like to add money into your PayPal Cash Card / Account Balance, here's a Help Center article detailing how: How do I add money to my PayPal Cash Card?

Thanks again for your time and have a great day!

Ok well thats good that i can put cash into the balance but as far as credit would i be able to add something like an egiftcard as credit to my card and then use it at a store or atm or pay bills from my cash card??

Unfortunately no, that would not be a functionality PayPal supports.
