why couldn't you?
If you approach it like a brand new user, PP sells itself to new buyers as the safe way to use a CC to pay for ebay purchases.
You might have to set up a one-time PP account just to do that though.
I just did something very similar. Needed to make a purchase right away and didn't want to wait the 3-5 days to transfer $ from my BA to PP. So I went and bought a GC and added it to my PP account and when I go to make my purchase later in the day since there aren't funds in the PP account, it should take the amount from the GC.
